Mexican catering for Lumley events
Planning a food truck in Lumley
Lumley is about 1 mile east of Emsworth, in West Sussex. From the centre of Lumley to the outskirts, Mexican catering works the same way: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cover 371 places across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 21 miles away.
Close to Lumley are historic houses such as Warblington Castle (1.6 miles west). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before booking one. A gathering in Eames Farm would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early. Lumley is within about 6 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 usually need permission from the council or landowner.
For Mexican catering in PO10, we plan around your venue and the route in and your guests. Whether your event is on Lumley Road and Northlands Park or a nearby road, we can bring Mexican catering there, given access. Close by, we cover events in Emsworth (1 mile west), Westbourne (1 mile north), Southbourne (1 mile east), Woodmancote (1 mile north-east) and Denvilles (1 mile west). Larger places within reach include Bognor Regis (12 miles east), Chichester (7 miles east), Selsey (10 miles south-east), Portfield (7 miles east), Yapton (14 miles east) and East Wittering (7 miles south-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Warblington Castle (1.6 miles west) and Emsworth Museum (under half a mile south-west). The countryside around Lumley includes Stoke Down and Brook Meadow (Emsworth).
- Local schools include Bourne Community College (0.8 miles east)
- Local pubs include Lord Raglan P.H. Pub (under half a mile south)
Mexican catering for your event in Lumley
The menu starts with tacos: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. We can add burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. It suits charity and school events and engagement and anniversary parties, serving tacos, quesadillas and loaded nachos.
In a small place like Lumley, events are generally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we’ll plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. In Lumley, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
