How our Mexican catering works in Magham Down
Food from a truck or trailer feels relaxed. Guests come up to the hatch, chat while they wait and take something hot back to their seats, which suits informal events. It suits engagement celebrations and summer garden parties, serving tacos, burrito bowls and burritos.
In a small place like Magham Down, events are generally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.

What happens on the day
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Evenings in Magham Down stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm. Festoon lights or floodlights help once it gets dark.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.

What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
What we offer
- Tacos
- Loaded nachos
- Build-your-own taco bar
- Burritos
- Burrito bowls
- Quesadillas
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
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.

Taco catering in Magham Down: local tips
Magham Down is about 2 miles north-east of Hailsham, in East Sussex. Whether your event is in the middle of Magham Down 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. Magham Down is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. We cater right across the region, from Magham Down to Brighton (about 18 miles away).
Around Magham Down, historic houses include Horselunges Manor (1.7 miles west) and Michelham Priory (3.5 miles south-west). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before you book one. Guests leaving a church like Emmanuel after a christening could walk over to a nearby garden where the tacos are ready. With the South Downs National Park about 8 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Magham Down. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.
Wherever your event is in BN27, we can bring Mexican catering to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Old Road and Nodes Lane or anywhere nearby, we will plan where to park and serve. Nearby, we also cater events in Hellingly (1 mile west), Upper Horsebridge (1 mile west), Hailsham (2 miles south-west), Lower Horsebridge (2 miles west) and Tile Hurst (2 miles west). Within a short drive, we also cover Eastbourne (7 miles south), Hastings (12 miles east), Bexhill-on-Sea (8 miles east), Seaford (11 miles south-west), Lewes (12 miles west) and Crowborough (13 miles north-west).

A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
Rain doesn’t stop us serving from the truck or trailer, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
