Cooksbridge: venues, access and local tips
Cooksbridge is about 2 miles north of Lewes, in East Sussex. For an event in Cooksbridge, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access. We serve in all 289 towns and villages across East Sussex. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 7 miles away.
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Peter, the food normally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. Nearby historic houses include Anne of Cleves House (2.5 miles south) and Glyndebourne (3.6 miles south-east). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before booking one. With the South Downs National Park about 3 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Cooksbridge. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.

About our Mexican catering in Cooksbridge
Mixed diets are easy to plan with Mexican street food. There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. At birthday parties and fundraisers and school events, we will put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, quesadillas and loaded nachos and more.
In a rural place like Cooksbridge, access is the main thing to plan: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Diets, allergies and planning
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we’ll confirm what’s possible with your quote.
Space, access and the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

FAQs for Cooksbridge
Which station is closest to Cooksbridge?
Guests can use Cooksbridge station, which is right in Cooksbridge.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Peter?
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.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, including East Sussex. See all areas.
What do you need at the venue?
We need level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water when you book.
Do you come to Cooksbridge?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Cooksbridge and across East Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Can we add a bar?
You can add our drinks bar, with bar staff serving margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we will check that with you.
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. A December event in Cooksbridge will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:15pm.
