How our Mexican catering works in Hove
Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: we park our food truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. No kitchen is needed on site. We serve burrito bowls, a build-your-own taco bar and tacos, and it suits weddings and evening receptions and engagement and anniversary parties.
Most events in a town like Hove are in gardens, halls, clubs or hired venues. Each can work, provided we can drive in and park on level ground. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Common questions in Hove
Which station is closest to Hove?
Guests can use Hove station, which is right in Hove.
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will talk licensing through with you.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Our service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case.
How much does Mexican catering cost in Hove?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
How much will it cost?
We don’t publish set prices, because every event is different. Tell us your numbers and plans and we will send a quote for your event.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Whether you need disposables
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- A picture of where we’d park
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The venue or postcode
Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll suggest a menu. When you’re ready, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away.
Quesadillas go down well with children, because they’re simple.
How it works
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Winter evenings in Hove close in by about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
- Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.
- We serve hot food from our food truck or trailer at the agreed time.
- When you’re done, we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Tell us when you want service to start

Mexican catering around Hove
Hove is about 2 miles west of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. Whether your event is in the middle of Hove or on the outskirts, Mexican catering works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We cater in all 30 towns and villages in Brighton and Hove.
By rail: Hove has its own station, Hove station. Thinking of an event in St. Ann's Well Gardens? Public parks typically need the landowner’s permission for a food truck, so check first. Hove is within about 7 miles of the South Downs National Park, with country venues and gardens that can suit a food truck. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about vehicles and catering, so check with yours. Hove 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 normally need permission from the council or landowner.

Local streets include Farm Road, York Road and Aymer Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park.
