About our Mexican catering in Rustington
Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so each plate is exactly how they like it. It suits birthday parties and charity and school events, serving loaded nachos, fresh salsas and guacamole and tacos.
In a smaller place like Rustington, your own garden, drive or a local hall is often the simplest option: no venue hire, and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Tell us about access down the lane or drive. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

Taco catering in Rustington: local tips
Rustington is about 5 miles west of Worthing, in West Sussex. Events in Rustington are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. Rustington is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 17 miles away.
The B2140 run on or near Rustington, so the drive in with the truck or trailer is a simple one. Parks such as Mewsbrook Park typically need the owner’s permission for vehicles and catering, so ask before you plan an event there. With the South Downs National Park about 7 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Rustington. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in. With the sea within about 2 miles, a beach-side event might appeal. Promenades and beaches usually need permission, and the truck or trailer has to park on firm ground, not sand.
Anywhere in BN16 and BN17, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. Streets in the area include Church Road, The Street and Station Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Rustington is on the B2140, so it is easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. Nearby, we also cater events in Littlehampton (1 mile west), Toddington (1 mile north-west), Poling (2 miles north), Wick (2 miles west) and Lyminster (2 miles north-west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Worthing (5 miles east), Bognor Regis (8 miles west), Chichester (12 miles west), Selsey (13 miles south-west), Shoreham-by-Sea (11 miles east) and Lancing (8 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include Zachary Merton Hospital (within half a mile south-east) and Lyminster Siege Castle (3 miles north-west). Not far away are WWT Arundel and Highdown Hill.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
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.
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.
Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
We arrive early enough to set up calmly. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas.
Events we cater in Rustington
Mixed diets are easy to plan for, since everyone picks their own fillings and toppings. Vegetarian and vegan guests get a proper meal, not an afterthought.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Rustington
Could you serve in Mewsbrook Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at The Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul?
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.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll suggest mild options.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you serve in the rain?
We can still serve in the rain. Have somewhere covered ready for guests.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
Popular choices
Tacos
Soft tortillas, warmed and filled, topped with salsa and fresh toppings. Fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms are agreed with you.
Quesadillas
A quesadilla is an easy favourite.
