Mexican catering in Coates
Mexican catering in Coates, from our truck or trailer
Tacos are the heart of the menu: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. We can add burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. Popular choices include a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas, and it’s a good fit for weddings, day or evening and milestone birthdays.
Somewhere as small as Coates, 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. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Mexican catering around Coates
Coates is about 10 miles north of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Wherever your event is in the RH20 area, we can serve your guests. We cover all 371 towns and villages across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater right across the region, from Coates to Guildford (20 miles away).
For a fête or sports day at a school such as Fittleworth CofE Village School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking. If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like Church of St Agatha, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. Venues in and around the South Downs National Park, within about 4 miles of Coates, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before booking.
Wherever your event is in RH20, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. Nearby, we also cater events in Lower Horncroft (1 mile east), Fittleworth (1 mile north-east), Bedham (1 mile north-east), Watersfield (2 miles south-east) and Coldwaltham (2 miles south-east).

A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Tell us how many children are coming
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch, so guests can check before they order.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we’ll set out what we can do in your quote.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, because fillings and toppings are kept separate. 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.
