Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests build their own.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we will confirm what’s possible with your quote.
Mexican catering in Clayton, served fresh
Looking for taco catering in Clayton? Food from a truck or trailer feels relaxed. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food, which suits informal events. It works well for weddings, day or evening and festivals, fairs and markets, with burritos, tacos and a build-your-own taco bar.
In a small place like Clayton, events are generally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Taco catering in Clayton: local tips
Clayton is about 3 miles south of Burgess Hill, in West Sussex. For Mexican catering in Clayton, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards. We serve in 371 places across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages.
If people are travelling in by rail, Hassocks station is about 1 mile away. Parents planning a fundraiser at a school like The Windmills Junior School might find a Mexican street-food truck draws families in. With the South Downs National Park about 2 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Clayton. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.
Mexican catering in BN6 is planned around your venue and access and your guests. Streets in the area include Spring Lane, Underhill Lane and Brighton Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Close by, we cover events in Keymer (1 mile north-east), Hassocks (1 mile north), Ditchling (2 miles north-east), Westmeston (2 miles east) and Hurst Wickham (2 miles north-west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Crawley (14 miles north), Horsham (13 miles north-west), Worthing (13 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (6 miles north), Burgess Hill (3 miles north) and Shoreham-by-Sea (7 miles south-west).

For event organisers in Clayton
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Guest numbers
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Timings and hours
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Where the event is
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- The date and time of the event
Planning Mexican catering in Clayton? Tell us what you have in mind and we will reply with a menu and a clear price. To contact us, send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. A December event in Clayton will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
Ask for a quote
Send us the date, your venue or BN6 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.

Comparing your options
A drop-off platter is easy, but nobody remembers it. Hot food served from a truck feels like part of the event. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Popular choices
Burritos and burrito bowls
Burritos are filling and easy to eat on the move. Bowls suit guests who want to skip the tortilla.
Quesadillas
Toasted tortillas with melted cheese inside.
Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
