Mexican catering in Falmer, served fresh
Looking for taco catering in Falmer? Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so each plate is exactly how they like it. For christenings and family parties and festivals, fairs and markets, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and tacos and more.
In a hamlet or village like Falmer, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Taco catering in Falmer: local tips
Falmer is about 3 miles north-east of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. We bring Mexican catering to gardens, halls and venues around Falmer and the surrounding area. Falmer is one of 30 places in Brighton and Hove we cover.
For a christening or wedding at a church such as The Parish Church of St Lawrence, a food truck at a garden or venue nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. Parks such as Stanmer Park generally need the owner’s permission for vehicles and catering, so ask before you plan an event there. With the South Downs National Park about 4 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Falmer. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in. Coastal events near Falmer, which is within about 5 miles of the sea, bring wind and sand into the planning. Tell us exactly where you’d like us and we will check access.
This part of Brighton and Hove takes in BN1, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Middle Street, Park Street and Mill Street.

Planning the serving area
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

What else we do in Falmer
Mexican catering or something else?
A barbecue often means a host tied to the grill. Book us and the cooking happens in our food truck or trailer. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Why book with us
- We cover Falmer and the whole of Brighton and Hove
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- Fast service, even with a queue
- Options for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
We arrive early enough to set up calmly. Someone from the venue just needs to point us to the agreed spot.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we will set out what we can do in your quote.
Perfect for your event in Falmer
You do not need a kitchen, so it works in gardens, fields and grounds without catering facilities.

- Anniversaries and engagements
- Milestone birthdays
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
- Leaving parties
If people are travelling in by rail, Falmer has its own station, Falmer station.
What your quote should include
- Plates and napkins, or nothing at all
- The venue requirements
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- Allergen information for each dish
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. Around midsummer it stays light in Falmer until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We confirm the way in and where we will park.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
Ask for a quote
Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. When you’re ready, send a quick message through our quote form.
Planning help
Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Common questions in Falmer
We are having a ceremony at The Parish Church of St Lawrence: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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’ll check the access.
Do you come to events in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Can you serve drinks as well?
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.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
What does Mexican catering cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
