Mexican catering near Poynings
Planning a food truck in Poynings
Poynings is about 4 miles north of Brighton and Hove, in West Sussex. Events in Poynings are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. Poynings is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we can bring Mexican catering.
For a christening or wedding at a church such as The Church of the Holy Trinity, a food truck at a garden or venue nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. Guests arriving by train will find that Hassocks station is about 3.3 miles away. Venues in and around the South Downs National Park, within about 5 miles of Poynings, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before you book. Poynings is within about 6 miles of the sea, 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.
Mexican catering in BN45 is planned around your venue and access. Streets in the area include The Street and Cora's Walk, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. For events just outside Poynings, we cover Fulking (1 mile south-west), Hangleton (3 miles south), Portslade (4 miles south), Castle Town (4 miles west) and Kingston by Sea (4 miles south). Larger places within reach include Crawley (15 miles north), Horsham (13 miles north-west), Worthing (10 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (9 miles north-east), Burgess Hill (5 miles north-east) and Littlehampton (15 miles south-west).
A little further out are The Budding Foundation Museum of Gardening (2.9 miles north-east) and Southlands Hospital (4.4 miles south-west). The countryside around Poynings includes Wolstonbury Hill and Woods Mill.
- Local pubs include Royal Oak pub (under half a mile south)
Mexican catering in Poynings, served fresh
We plan each menu with the client, so fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. It works well for leaving parties and big birthday celebrations, with fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and loaded nachos.
Somewhere as small as Poynings, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

Mexican catering or something else?
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, because fillings and toppings are kept separate. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we’ll set out what’s included.

Questions from Poynings
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Could you serve our guests after a service at The Church of the Holy Trinity?
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. Send us the reception address.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Our service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case.
How much does Mexican catering cost in Poynings?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
How does your Mexican catering work?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up, serve your guests and clear away when service ends.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will include them in the plan.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Before you choose a spot
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- 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.

Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
About the menu
Loaded nachos
Loaded nachos are perfect for sharing. We can plan a dairy-free version.
Quesadillas
Toasted tortillas with melted cheese inside, cut into wedges.
Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
How it works
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. Planning an evening event in Poynings?
