Mexican catering around Selmeston
Selmeston is about 5 miles north of Seaford, in East Sussex. For an event in Selmeston, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access. Selmeston is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex where we can bring Mexican catering. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Selmeston to Brighton (about 12 miles away).
Guests leaving a church like The Parish Church of St Mary after a christening could walk over to a nearby garden where the tacos are ready. By rail: the nearest station is Berwick (Sussex) station, about 1 mile east. Venues in and around the South Downs National Park, within about 3 miles of Selmeston, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before you book. With the sea within about 6 miles, a beach-side event might appeal. Promenades and beaches normally need permission, and the truck or trailer has to park on firm ground, not sand.
We serve at events all over the BN26 postcode area and the streets around it. Your event could be at a home on The Street and Lewes Road or the roads around them. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Alciston (1 mile south), Berwick (1 mile east), Ripe (2 miles north), Winton (2 miles south) and Wickstreet (2 miles north-east). Larger places within reach include Eastbourne (7 miles south-east), Bexhill-on-Sea (14 miles east), Seaford (5 miles south), Lewes (6 miles west), Hailsham (5 miles east) and Crowborough (14 miles north).
Other landmarks nearby include Drusillas Museum (1.8 miles south-east) and Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital (5.3 miles south-west). Open spaces near Selmeston include Firle Beacon.
- Local pubs include The Barley Mow pub (under half a mile south-west)
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Organising a club, school or community event in Selmeston? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Step by step
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Planning an evening event in Selmeston? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights or floodlights help once it gets dark.

FAQs for Selmeston
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Do you cater at coastal events near Selmeston?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots typically need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Can you serve in bad weather?
Rain does not stop service from the hatch. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us about the venue and the way in, and we’ll confirm what we need. We also need room for a queue.
