Mexican catering in Atherington, served fresh
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. At retirement and leaving parties and milestone birthdays, we’ll put together a menu of burrito bowls, tacos and burritos and more.
Somewhere as small as Atherington, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Your questions about Mexican catering in Atherington
Which station should guests use for Atherington?
Guests can use Littlehampton station, about 1.5 miles east of Atherington.
Is Atherington close to London?
It is about 53 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
What are your prices?
There’s no fixed price list, as each event is different. Send your details and you’ll get a quote for your event.
Do you serve in the rain?
We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, though guests need a covered place to eat.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan carefully for diets and keep options separate, though we can’t guarantee a kitchen with no trace of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us first.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.

Planning a food truck in Atherington
Atherington is about 2 miles west of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. For Mexican catering in Atherington, we plan around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. We serve in 371 places in West Sussex, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Atherington to Brighton (20 miles away).
Guests leaving a church like Bailiffscourt Chapel after a christening could walk over to a nearby garden where the tacos are ready. If people are travelling in by rail, Littlehampton station is about 1.5 miles away. With the South Downs National Park about 8 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Atherington. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in. Atherington is within about 2 miles of the sea, so for a seaside event we plan around the wind. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots normally need permission from the council or landowner.

Planning the serving area
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- Space for guests to queue
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
