Mexican catering in Lidsey, from our truck or trailer
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: a taco menu, or tacos plus loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls. Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can come from our drinks bar. We serve fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and tacos, and it suits fundraisers and school events and summer garden parties.
In a small place like Lidsey, events are usually 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. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Planning a food truck in Lidsey
Lidsey is about 2 miles north-east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. We serve at events in gardens, halls and venues around Lidsey and nearby villages. We cater in all 371 towns and villages across West Sussex, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Lidsey to Brighton (23 miles away).
For a fête or sports day at a school such as Aldingbourne Primary School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking. Guests arriving by train will find that the nearest station is Barnham station, about 1.3 miles north-east. The coast is within about 3 miles of Lidsey, 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.
Here we cover the PO22 postcode area, so your event can be anywhere in it. Local streets include Lidsey Road and Sack Lane; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. If your venue is just outside Lidsey, we also cover Shripney (1 mile south-west), Westergate (1 mile north), Eastergate (1 mile north), West Barnham (1 mile north-east) and Barnham (1 mile north-east). Larger places within reach include Worthing (12 miles east), Chichester (5 miles west), Selsey (8 miles south-west), Littlehampton (6 miles east), Lancing (15 miles east) and Emsworth (12 miles west).
Other landmarks nearby include Tote Copse Castle (1.6 miles north-west) and Bognor Regis Museum (2.6 miles south).
- Schools near Lidsey include St Philip Howard Catholic High School (1.3 miles north-east)
Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
The process
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. From late May to late September, sunset in Lidsey moves from about 8:50pm to 7:05pm. Let us know if service will run after dark, and we will talk about lighting.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and cook to order, with salsas and guacamole made fresh.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Tell us what power and water the site has

FAQs for Lidsey
Can you serve near the sea around Lidsey?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots normally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to The Brooks Local Nature Reserve?
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.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
How many guests can you cater for?
Our service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
We bring our food truck or trailer to your venue, cook to order and serve tacos, burritos and more from the hatch. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.
Can you serve drinks as well?
Yes. The drinks bar offers margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free drinks. We will talk licensing through with you.
How spicy is the food?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To get it right:
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests help themselves.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
Prices and what affects them
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- Parking and the route in
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- The menu you choose
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
