Mexican catering or something else?
A barbecue often means a host tied to the grill. With us, the cooking happens in our food truck or trailer, so you can enjoy your event. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.

Ditchling: venues, access and local tips
Ditchling is about 3 miles south of Burgess Hill, in West Sussex. For an event in Ditchling, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards in and around Ditchling. We serve in 371 places in West Sussex, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Ditchling to Brighton (6 miles away).
A school such as Ditchling (St Margaret's) Church of England Primary School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck. If you are celebrating after a service at a church like Ditchling Unitarian Chapel, 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 a mile of Ditchling, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before you book.
Anywhere in BN6, we can bring Mexican catering to you. Streets in the area include High Street, The Twitten and Charlton Gardens, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Nearby, we also cater events in Keymer (1 mile west), Westmeston (1 mile south), Hassocks (1 mile west), Clayton (2 miles south-west) and Hurst Wickham (2 miles north-west).

What Mexican catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- What’s on the menu
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Guest numbers
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

A quesadilla is an easy favourite.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To make it work smoothly:
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
We arrive early enough to set up calmly. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters, because they’re simple.
Ditchling questions
Which station is closest to Ditchling?
Hassocks station, about 1.4 miles west of the centre.
Do you cater in villages like Ditchling?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
Our food truck or trailer is a mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
It depends on the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, but tell us your numbers and we will plan around them.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Step by step
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. Daylight in Ditchling runs to about 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. If your event carries on later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
