Mexican catering for your event in Birling Gap
Looking for taco catering in Birling Gap? A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so each plate is exactly how they like it. It works well for fundraisers and school events and big birthday celebrations, with quesadillas, a build-your-own taco bar and burritos.
Somewhere like Birling Gap, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

When the service is at a church such as The Parish Church of St Simon and St Jude, the food usually happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. Close to Birling Gap are historic houses such as Alfriston Clergy House (4.7 miles north-west). Estates and historic houses tend to set their own rules for caterers, so find out what yours allows first. With the South Downs National Park about 5 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Birling Gap. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in. Birling Gap is within about 5 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 typically need permission from the council or landowner.
Anywhere in BN20, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes.

The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our food truck or trailer, and get on with serving.

- You get a suggested menu, with fillings agreed with you, and a quote.
