Down Street: venues, access and local tips
Down Street is about 3 miles north-west of Uckfield, in East Sussex. We cater events at gardens, halls and venues around Down Street and the surrounding area. We serve in 289 places across East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 14 miles away.
If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like The Parish Church of St Andrew and St Mary, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. Parks such as West Park normally need the owner’s permission for vehicles and catering, so ask before you plan an event there. Venues in and around the High Weald National Landscape, within about 7 miles of Down Street, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before you book.
Here we cover the TN22 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Nearby, we also cater events in Maresfield (1 mile east), Budlett's Common (2 miles east), Newick (3 miles south-west), Founthill (3 miles south-west) and Ridgewood (3 miles south-east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Seaford (15 miles south), Lewes (9 miles south), Hailsham (13 miles south-east), Crowborough (6 miles north-east), Uckfield (3 miles south-east) and Newhaven (14 miles south).
Well-known places in the area include Uckfield Community Hospital (3 miles south-east) and Heaven Farm Museum (2.8 miles north-west). Not far away are Brickfield Meadow.
About our Mexican catering in Down Street
With mobile Mexican catering, we bring the kitchen with us: our food truck or trailer parks at your venue and we serve hot food straight from the hatch. No kitchen is needed on site. On the menu are burrito bowls, quesadillas and tacos, and it suits christenings and family parties and school fairs and fundraisers.
Somewhere as small as Down Street, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Down Street
We are having a ceremony at The Parish Church of St Andrew and St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Could you serve in West Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
Can we add a bar?
We can. Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Licensing is checked with you first.
Can you cater for special diets?
We can. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Count children separately
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Let us know about any other food at the event
Rain does not stop us serving from the truck or trailer, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start.
For event organisers in Down Street
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
