Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple.

Taco catering in Northiam: local tips
Northiam is about 9 miles north of Hastings, in East Sussex. Give us the address of your event in Northiam, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up before the day. Northiam is one of 289 places in East Sussex where we can bring Mexican catering. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 28 miles away.
The A268 run on or near Northiam, so the drive in with the truck or trailer is a simple one. A school such as Northiam Church of England Primary School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck. Venues in and around the High Weald National Landscape, within about 8 miles of Northiam, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before you book.
We cater events across TN31. Streets in the area include Station Road, Main Street and Elizabeth Gardens, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Northiam sits on or near the A268, which makes travel to your event easy. Close by, we cover events in Beckley (2 miles south-east), Beckley Furnace (3 miles south), Broad Oak (3 miles south), Flackley Ash (3 miles east) and Broadland Row (4 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Hastings (9 miles south), Bexhill-on-Sea (12 miles south-west), St Leonards (10 miles south), Hastings Old Town (10 miles south), Belmont (10 miles south) and Heathfield (15 miles west).
A little further out are The C.M Booth Collection (4 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Flatropers Wood.

Northiam questions
Will you travel to a small place like Northiam?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you come to events in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
What if it rains?
We can still serve in the rain. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Northiam.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Can you cater for special diets?
Diets are planned in advance, with options kept separate, but we can’t promise a kitchen without traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- What’s on the menu
- How many guests we are serving
- Distance and access to the venue
- What the venue already provides
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field

How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving.

- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
