Mexican catering for Cousley Wood events
How our Mexican catering works in Cousley Wood
Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: our food truck or trailer parks at your venue and we serve hot food straight from the hatch. No kitchen is needed on site. For birthday parties and school fairs and fundraisers, we can serve burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar.
Somewhere as small as Cousley Wood, 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. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
How it works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. In Cousley Wood, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
How to prepare
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

Common questions in Cousley Wood
Do you cater in villages like Cousley Wood?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
We are having a ceremony at Rehoboth Chapel: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not 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 will check the access.
How does your Mexican catering work?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up, serve your guests and clear away when service ends.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How much does Mexican catering cost in Cousley Wood?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
Cousley Wood: venues, access and local tips

We serve in all 289 towns and villages in East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Cousley Wood to Brighton (27 miles away).

If people are travelling in by rail, Wadhurst station is about 2.1 miles away. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 2 miles of Cousley Wood, with country venues and gardens that can suit a food truck.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- The number of people
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Comparing your options
Cold buffets are easy, but the food sits out. Tacos and burritos are made to order and served hot. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.
Why us?
- Allergen-aware menus
- A clear quote
- Fast service, even with a queue
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
See our pricing or the cost guide.
Space, access and the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
