Mexican catering for Fairlight events
How our Mexican catering works in Fairlight
Planning taco catering for an event in Fairlight? Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so nobody ends up with something they don’t want. It suits charity and school events and anniversaries and engagements, with loaded nachos, quesadillas and a build-your-own taco bar.
For a rural spot like Fairlight, fields and drives need a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

The process
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. Daylight in Fairlight runs to about 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. If your event carries on later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our truck or trailer.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

Which station is closest to Fairlight?
Guests can use Three Oaks station, about 2.2 miles north-west of Fairlight.
Can you set up at our venue?
Tell us about the venue and the way in, and we’ll confirm what we need. We also need room for a queue.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan carefully for diets and keep options separate, though we cannot guarantee a kitchen with no trace of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us first.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we will suggest the best set-up.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Do you do a drinks bar?
You can add our drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we will check that with you.

Fairlight is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Fairlight to Royal Tunbridge Wells (24 miles away).
For guests coming by train, Three Oaks station is about 2.2 miles away. Thinking of an event in Speckled Wood? Public parks generally need the landowner’s permission for a food truck, so check first. Coastal events near Fairlight, which is within about 4 miles of the sea, bring wind and sand into the planning. Tell us exactly where you’d like us and we will check access.

Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Let us know about any other food at the event
We arrive early enough to set up calmly. Someone from the venue just needs to point us to the agreed spot.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
Planning the serving area
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

About the menu
Tacos
Soft tortillas, warmed and filled, topped with salsa and fresh toppings. Fillings are agreed with you, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms.
Quesadillas
A quesadilla is an easy favourite, and they go down well with children.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
A cold buffet is simple but tends to sit out for hours. Tacos and burritos are made to order and served hot. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
