Catering an event in Hamsey

Hamsey is about 1 mile north of Lewes, in East Sussex. Across the BN8 area, we can serve your guests, as long as there’s access. We serve in all 289 towns and villages across East Sussex. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Hamsey to Brighton (about 7 miles away).

Close to Hamsey are historic houses such as Anne of Cleves House (1.9 miles south) and Glyndebourne (2.9 miles south-east). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before booking one. When the service is at a church such as The Parish Church of St Peter, the food generally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. Venues in and around the South Downs National Park, within about 2 miles of Hamsey, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before booking.

Anywhere in BN8, we can bring Mexican catering to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. If your venue is just outside Hamsey, we also cover Offham (1 mile south-west), South Malling (1 mile south), Lewes (1 mile south), Cliffe (2 miles south) and Southover (2 miles south). We also cater in nearby towns such as Eastbourne (14 miles south-east), Seaford (9 miles south-east), Hailsham (11 miles east), Crowborough (13 miles north-east), Uckfield (7 miles north-east) and Newhaven (7 miles south).

Mexican catering in Hamsey, served fresh

Need taco catering in Hamsey? The menu starts with tacos: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. We can add burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. For milestone birthdays and fundraisers and school events, we will put together a menu of fresh salsas and guacamole, loaded nachos and tacos and more.

In a small place like Hamsey, events are normally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Planners, venues and businesses

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.

What’s on the menu

Burritos and burrito bowls

A burrito is a meal in one. Bowls suit guests who want to skip the tortilla.

Salsas and guacamole

Every taco needs salsa and guacamole, and guests add as much as they like.

Can I do a taco night myself?

Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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.

Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Who books Mexican catering in Hamsey?

It handles mixed diets without fuss, since everyone picks their own fillings and toppings. Vegetarian and vegan guests get a proper meal, not an afterthought.

A truck or trailer suits almost any gathering. In Hamsey, you could book us for occasions like:

  • Garden parties
  • Birthday parties
  • Leaving dos and retirement parties
  • Engagement and anniversary parties

A gathering in Railway Land would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early.

What your quote should include

  • Payment terms and deposit
  • Any travel, parking or access charges
  • How many staff are serving, and for how long
  • When final numbers are due

Choosing a Mexican caterer

How it compares

Cold buffets are easy, but the food sits out. Our food is served hot, one order at a time. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.

Why book with us

  • A menu built around your guests
  • Allergen information for every dish
  • Menus for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests
  • Access, space and power checked in advance

Take a look at how we price and the cost guide.

What Mexican catering costs

We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:

  • How many staff you need
  • Plates, napkins and cutlery
  • The menu you choose
  • Whether you add a drinks bar or food

What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Getting an accurate quote

To check availability and price, we need:

  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
  • What you’d like on the menu
  • A picture of where we’d park
  • The date and rough timings

We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, use our quote form.

How it works

The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Daylight in Hamsey 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.

  1. First, send us a few details about your event.
  2. You get a sample menu and a quote.
  3. Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
  4. We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
  5. We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.

Before we arrive

  • Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
  • Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
  • Tell us what power and water the site has

How to get a price

We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just send us your details through our quote form.

  • Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
  • A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
