How our Mexican catering works in Lower Willingdon
We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. We warm the tortillas as each order goes out. It works well for wedding breakfasts and evening food and birthday parties, with loaded nachos, tacos and burrito bowls.
In a smaller place like Lower Willingdon, your own garden, drive or a local hall is often the simplest option: no venue hire, and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Tell us about access down the lane or drive. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.

Common questions in Lower Willingdon
Is Lower Willingdon close to London?
About 50 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Can you serve near the sea around Lower Willingdon?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots normally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will suggest mild options.
Can you cater for special diets?
Diets are planned in advance, with options kept separate, though we can’t guarantee a kitchen with no trace of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.

Lower Willingdon: venues, access and local tips
Lower Willingdon is about 2 miles north-west of Eastbourne, in East Sussex. Tell us where your event in Lower Willingdon will be, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up. Lower Willingdon is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Lower Willingdon to Brighton (17 miles away).
A school such as Willingdon Primary School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck. Nearby historic houses include Alfriston Clergy House (4 miles west) and Michelham Priory (4 miles north-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and vehicles early. Venues in and around the South Downs National Park, within about 5 miles of Lower Willingdon, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before booking. The coast is within about 4 miles of Lower Willingdon, 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.

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
The process
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Around midsummer it stays light in Lower Willingdon until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
How to prepare
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Count children separately
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests build their own while we keep it topped up.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter or as a late snack.
