How our Mexican catering works in Ore
Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food, which suits informal events. It works well for family gatherings and christenings and fairs and festivals, serving a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and loaded nachos.
In and around Ore, gardens and local halls are common choices. If access is tight or the ground is soft, we’ll plan around it. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Comparing your options
A cold buffet is simple but tends to sit out for hours. Tacos and burritos are made to order and served hot. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Why us?
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- Service planned around your numbers
- Allergen information for every dish
- A clear quote
Take a look at our prices page and the cost guide.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
Questions from Ore
Could you serve our guests after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Could you serve in Speckled Wood?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
How much does Mexican catering cost in Ore?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Is the food very hot?
It is up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Do you serve in the rain?
We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, though guests need a covered place to eat.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will suggest mild options.
Who books Mexican catering in Ore?
A food truck gives guests somewhere to gather, and people drift over as soon as service starts.

Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Taco catering in Ore: local tips
Ore is about 2 miles east of Hastings, in East Sussex. Give us the address of your event in Ore, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up before the day. We cater in 289 places 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 32 miles away.
For a fête or sports day at a school such as Sandown Primary School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking. Parks such as Speckled Wood usually need the owner’s permission for vehicles and catering, so ask before you plan an event there. The coast is within about 2 miles of Ore, 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 TN35 and TN34, we plan around your venue and the route in. Streets in the area include Rye Road, Rock Lane and Mill Lane, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Other places close to Ore for Mexican catering include Bachelor's Bump (1 mile north-east), Guestling (2 miles north-east), Fairlight (2 miles east), Friar's Hill (2 miles north-east) and Guestling Green (2 miles north-east). Further out, we also cater in Eastbourne (15 miles south-west), Bexhill-on-Sea (6 miles west), Hailsham (15 miles west), St Leonards (3 miles south-west), Upper Horsebridge (15 miles west) and Langney (14 miles west).
Well-known places in the area include Hastings Castle (1.5 miles south-west) and Conquest Hospital (2 miles north-west). The countryside around Ore includes Church Wood and Robsack Wood.
- Local schools include Hastings Academy (0.6 miles north-east)
- Pubs nearby include Old King John pub (under half a mile north-east)
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
