Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so tell us your numbers. Popular choices include loaded nachos, fresh salsas and guacamole and burritos, which works well for fairs and festivals and leaving dos and retirement parties.
There may be a hall or club near Cliffe if your garden is small; a truck or trailer can work at any of them, with permission and a level spot. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.

Catering for every guest
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Tell us how many children are coming
On the day, we arrive in good time to park up and get ready. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start or as a late snack.
Catering an event in Cliffe
Cliffe is about 1 mile east of Lewes, in East Sussex. We serve at events in gardens, halls and venues around Cliffe. Cliffe is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex we cover. We cater right across the region, from Cliffe to Brighton (about 7 miles away).
If people are travelling in by rail, Lewes station is in Cliffe itself. When the service is at a church such as Church of St Thomas at Cliffe, the food usually happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. Venues in and around the South Downs National Park, within about a mile of Cliffe, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before you book.
Wherever your event is in BN7 and BN8, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. Streets in the area include Ham Lane, New Road and Court Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Cliffe is on the A26, which makes it straightforward to bring the truck or trailer.

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Pizza and burger vans are familiar choices. Mexican street food stands out, while still being easy food most people enjoy. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Cliffe
Do you come to events in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Thomas at Cliffe?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
What’s on the menu?
Tacos and taco bars, plus burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. See our sample menu.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
What do you need at the venue?
Send us details of the venue and the access, and we will check it works. Space for a queue and, if you choose one, a taco-bar table helps too.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
We bring our truck or trailer to your venue, cook to order and serve tacos, burritos and more from the hatch. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Popular choices
Tacos
Warm tortillas with a choice of fillings, topped with salsa and fresh toppings. Fillings are agreed with you, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms.
Burritos and burrito bowls
Burritos are filling and easy to eat on the move. The bowl version suits anyone avoiding tortillas.
How the day works
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. Around midsummer it stays light in Cliffe until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
