Mexican catering in Etchingwood, from our truck or trailer
We plan each menu with the client, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. For leaving dos and retirement parties and fairs and festivals, we can serve burritos, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole and more.
In a rural place like Etchingwood, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Working with your venue
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.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests build their own while we keep it topped up.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters.

Salsas and guacamole
Every taco needs salsa and guacamole, and guests add as much as they like.
Quesadillas
A quesadilla is an easy favourite.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Taco catering in Etchingwood: local tips
Etchingwood is about 2 miles north-east of Uckfield, in East Sussex. Events in Etchingwood are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. Etchingwood is one of 289 places in East Sussex where we can bring Mexican catering. We cater right across the region, from Etchingwood to Brighton (16 miles away).
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, the food generally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Uckfield College, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. Venues in and around the High Weald National Landscape, within about 6 miles of Etchingwood, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before booking.
Here we cover the TN22 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. We also serve at events in Potter's Green (1 mile north-west), Buxted (1 mile north-west), Framfield (1 mile south-west), Blackboys (1 mile south-east) and Hadlow Down (2 miles north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Eastbourne (15 miles south-east), Seaford (14 miles south), Lewes (10 miles south-west), Hailsham (9 miles south-east), Crowborough (5 miles north) and Newhaven (14 miles south).
A little further out are Uckfield Community Hospital (2.2 miles south-west) and Tickerage Castle (0.9 miles south). Not far away are Selwyns Wood.
- Nearby, you will find The Buxted Inn (0.8 miles north-west)
How it compares
Pizza and burger vans are familiar choices. Mexican street food stands out. 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.
