Mexican catering in Old Town, from our food truck or trailer
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. We warm the tortillas as each order goes out. For engagement and anniversary parties and markets and community events, we can serve burrito bowls, fresh salsas and guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar for your guests.
A place like Old Town may have a hall or a club with a car park nearby; any can work, given permission and level ground to park on. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Catering an event in Old Town
Old Town is about 1 mile south-west of Eastbourne, in East Sussex. We cater events at homes, gardens and venues in Old Town and the surrounding area. We serve in all 289 towns and villages across East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 18 miles away.
For a fête or sports day at a school such as Gildredge House, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking. Before you pencil in Gildrege Park, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement. With the South Downs National Park about 6 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Old Town. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.

The process
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a photo of the space if you are unsure. Winter evenings in Old Town close in by about 3:55pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- You get a suggested menu, with fillings agreed with you, and a quote.
- Together we confirm where the truck or trailer will park, plus power and water.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- After service, we clear away and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

FAQs for Old Town
What’s the nearest station to Old Town for guests?
The closest is Eastbourne station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
What can we choose from?
Tacos, build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. Our sample menu has more detail.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
What are your prices?
We quote for each event, based on guest numbers, the menu, the venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
What space do you need?
Send us details of the venue and the access, and we’ll confirm what we need. Space for a queue and, if you choose one, a taco-bar table helps too.

Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
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.
