Mexican catering in Rodmell, served fresh
Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. Guests come up to the hatch, chat while they wait and take something hot back to their seats. We serve tacos, a build-your-own taco bar and quesadillas, and it’s a good fit for school fairs and fundraisers and milestone birthdays.
In a small place like Rodmell, events are typically in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Rodmell: your questions answered
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Lewes and Laughton Levels?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Do you cater in villages like Rodmell?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
What does Mexican catering cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a photo of the access and the space, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Before you choose a spot
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Planning a food truck in Rodmell
Rodmell is about 3 miles south of Lewes, in East Sussex. We serve at events in gardens, halls and venues around Rodmell and nearby villages. We cover all 289 towns and villages in East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Rodmell to Brighton (about 6 miles away).
If people are travelling in by rail, the nearest station is Southease station, about 0.9 miles east. For a christening or wedding at a church such as St Peter's Church, a food truck at a garden or venue nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. With the South Downs National Park about 3 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Rodmell. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in. Rodmell 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 normally need permission from the council or landowner.
This part of East Sussex takes in BN7, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. We can cater an event on streets such as Mill Lane, Badgers Dene and The Paddocks or the roads around them.

We also cater in nearby towns such as Eastbourne (12 miles east), Seaford (6 miles south-east), Lewes (3 miles north), Hailsham (11 miles east), Uckfield (10 miles north-east) and Newhaven (3 miles south-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Lewes Castle (2.7 miles north) and Lewes Victoria Hospital (2.9 miles north). The countryside around Rodmell includes Southerham Farm and Itford Hill.
- Parks and local facilities nearby include Southover Without (1.8 miles north)
Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Timings and hours
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Your menu ideas
- The address or venue name
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Planners, venues and businesses
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.

How the day works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a photo of the space if you’re unsure. In Rodmell, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our food truck or trailer.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets

Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests. To get it right:
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
On the day, we arrive in good time to park up and get ready. Someone from the venue just needs to point us to the agreed spot.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
