Mexican catering for your event in Roedean
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so each plate is exactly how they like it. It works well for engagement and anniversary parties and staff parties and office lunches, serving burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas.
In a rural place like Roedean, access is the main thing to plan: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Roedean: venues, access and local tips
Roedean is about 2 miles east of Carlton Hill, in Brighton and Hove. Across the BN2 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you. Roedean is one of 30 places in Brighton and Hove we cover.
Around Roedean, historic houses include Royal Pavilion (1.9 miles west) and Preston Manor & Gardens (3 miles north-west). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before booking one. If you are organising a summer fair for a school like St Mark's CofE Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. Venues in and around the South Downs National Park, within about 7 miles of Roedean, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before you book. The coast is within about 2 miles of Roedean, 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 generally need permission from the council or landowner.
This part of Brighton and Hove takes in BN2, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Peel Road, Cliff Road and Henley Road or the roads around them. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Ovingdean (1 mile east), Rottingdean (1 mile east), Saltdean (3 miles east), East Saltdean (3 miles east) and Falmer (3 miles north). We also cater in nearby towns such as Brighton and Hove (4 miles west), Hove (4 miles west), Brunswick (3 miles west), Seven Dials (3 miles north-west), Hollingdean (3 miles north-west) and Prestonville (3 miles north-west).
Other landmarks nearby include French Convalescent Home (0.5 miles west) and Churchill Square (2.3 miles west). Open spaces near Roedean include Whitehawk Hill and Newmarket Hill.
- Schools near Roedean include St Mary's Hall (0.8 miles west) and Longhill High School (1.2 miles east)
- Pubs nearby include The Master Mariner pub (within half a mile south-west)

What else we do in Roedean
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests build their own while we keep it topped up.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start.
Roedean questions
Do you come out to small places like Roedean?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you cater 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.
Do you cater in Roedean?
We do. We serve at events in Roedean and across Brighton and Hove. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you cater for big events?
It depends on the event. As a guide, it is around 50 to 400 guests; tell us your numbers and we will take it from there.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.
Planning the serving area
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Who books Mexican catering in Roedean?
Every order goes out hot, instead of waiting on a buffet.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Family celebrations
- Summer garden parties
- Engagement celebrations
- Leaving dos and retirement parties
When the service is at a church such as St Mark's Church, the food typically happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck.
Before you book anyone
- Allergen information for each dish
- The wet-weather plan
- VAT, if it applies
- When final numbers are due
What happens on the day
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. In Roedean, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and how many.
- Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
- Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.
- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
- When you are done, we pack away.
How to prepare
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Ask the venue about power and water

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Timings and hours
- How many guests we’re serving
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, tell us about it on our contact page.
