Mexican catering near Hastings
Working with your venue
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 will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
About our Mexican catering in Hastings
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so each plate is exactly how they like it. At charity and school events and fairs and festivals, we can serve burritos, quesadillas and tacos.
Busy roads and town-centre access are the main things to plan for an event in central Hastings; the serving itself only needs a level spot and room for a queue. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Hastings questions
Which station is closest to Hastings?
Guests can use St Leonards Warrior Square station, about 0.9 miles south of Hastings.
Is it possible to have you in Alexandra 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 will send what they need from us.
What if it rains?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, though guests need a covered place to eat.
How much does Mexican catering cost?
There is no fixed price list, as each event is different. Tell us your numbers and plans and we’ll send a quote for your event.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, for example a supply from the venue, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
Diets are planned in advance, with options kept separate, but we can’t promise a kitchen without traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us first.
What space do you need?
Tell us about the venue and the way in, and we will confirm what we need. Space for a queue and, if you choose one, a taco-bar table helps too.
The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. From late May to late September, sunset in Hastings moves from about 8:45pm to 7:00pm. Let us know if service will run after dark, and we will talk about lighting.

Hastings: venues, access and local tips
Hastings is in East Sussex. For an event in Hastings, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access in and around Hastings. Hastings is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex we cover. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 30 miles away.
For a christening or wedding at a church such as St Luke's Church, a food truck at a garden or venue nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. Thinking of an event in Alexandra Park? Public parks normally need the landowner’s permission for a food truck, so check first. Hastings is within about 2 miles of the sea, so for a seaside event we plan around the wind. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots generally need permission from the council or landowner.
Mexican catering in TN34, TN38, TN37 and TN35 is planned around your venue and access. Local streets include London Road, Church Road and Upper Church Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. You’ll find Hastings on the A21 and A28, so it’s easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. For events just outside Hastings, we cover Silverhill (1 mile west), Blacklands (1 mile east), St Helen's (1 mile north-east), Hollington (1 mile north-west) and St Leonards (1 mile south-west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Eastbourne (13 miles south-west), Bexhill-on-Sea (4 miles west), Hailsham (13 miles west), Polegate (14 miles west), Old Town (15 miles south-west) and Heathfield (15 miles north-west). As one of the bigger places in East Sussex, Hastings has plenty of venues and spaces for events, though town-centre access for a truck or trailer needs planning.
Other landmarks nearby include Conquest Hospital (1.2 miles north) and Priory Meadow Shopping Centre (1.1 miles south-east). The countryside around Hastings includes Senlac Hill and Church Wood and Robsack Wood.

What affects the price in Hastings
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The length of service

- Food, drinks or both
- Distance and access to the venue
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
