How our Mexican catering works in Kemptown
Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food, which suits informal events. Popular choices include a build-your-own taco bar, loaded nachos and tacos, and it is a good fit for wedding breakfasts and evening food and big birthday celebrations.
Around Kemptown, events are often in gardens, fields, local halls or nearby venues. If access is tight or the ground is soft, we will plan around it. You’ll know what’s included before booking: 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.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Taco catering in Kemptown: local tips
Kemptown is about 1 mile south-east of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. Anywhere in BN2, we can serve your guests. We cover all 30 towns and villages in Brighton and Hove.
For a christening or wedding at a church such as St George's Church, a food truck at a garden or venue nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. A gathering in Queen's Park would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early. The South Downs National Park is within about 7 miles of Kemptown, 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. Coastal events near Kemptown, which is within about a mile of the sea, bring wind and sand into the planning. Tell us exactly where you’d like us and we’ll check access.
