Mexican catering in Plumpton, from our truck or trailer
We bring our truck or trailer to events in and around Plumpton: private gardens, venue grounds, courtyards and fields. For retirement and leaving parties and weddings, day or evening, we’ll put together a menu of quesadillas, tacos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a rural place like Plumpton, access is the main thing to plan: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area quietly.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start.
Questions from Plumpton
Which station should guests use for Plumpton?
Plumpton station, about 1.4 miles north of the centre.
We’re having a ceremony at The Parish Church of St Michael and All Angels: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan carefully for diets and keep options separate, though we cannot guarantee a kitchen with no trace of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us first.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: 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 picture of the space and the way in.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service usually suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will include them in the plan.
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. In Plumpton, 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. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Start by telling us 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.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Find out what power and water are available
Ask for a quote
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.

How it compares
Pizza and burger vans are familiar choices. Tacos, burritos and nachos feel a little different, while still being easy food most people enjoy. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we’ll set out what’s included.

We cater in 289 places across East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Plumpton to Brighton (about 6 miles away).
When the service is at a church such as The Parish Church of St Michael and All Angels, the food typically happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. By rail: the nearest station is Plumpton station, about 1.4 miles north. With the South Downs National Park about 3 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Plumpton. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.

What’s on the menu
Build-your-own taco bar
A serving table of fillings, salsas and toppings, with warm tortillas to fill. Everyone builds their own.
Burritos and burrito bowls
Burritos are filling and easy to eat on the move. The bowl version suits anyone avoiding tortillas.
Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
What we need at the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you. What matters most:
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

- Quesadillas

Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
