Mexican catering near South Chailey
South Chailey: your questions answered
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
How far is South Chailey from central London?
About 39 miles from central London, and we cover it.
How does your Mexican catering work?
Our food truck or trailer is a mobile kitchen. We set up, serve your guests and clear away when service ends.
What if it rains?
We can still serve in the rain. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
We plan carefully for diets and keep options separate, though we can’t guarantee a kitchen with no trace of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
Mexican catering in South Chailey, from our food truck or trailer
Planning taco catering for an event in South Chailey? With mobile Mexican catering, we bring the kitchen with us: we park our truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. You do not need a kitchen at the venue. We serve loaded nachos, quesadillas and tacos, which works well for summer garden parties and family celebrations.
Somewhere as small as South Chailey, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we’ll plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Taco catering in South Chailey: local tips
South Chailey is about 4 miles north of Lewes, in East Sussex. Whether your event is in the middle of South Chailey or on the outskirts, Mexican catering works the same way: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote.

Guests arriving by train will find that the nearest station is Plumpton station, about 1.7 miles south-west. If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Chailey School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. Venues in and around the South Downs National Park, within about 5 miles of South Chailey, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before booking.

Catering for every guest
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away, leaving the space as we found it.
Burrito bowls suit guests who’d rather skip the tortilla.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
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:
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Step by step
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a photo of the space if you’re unsure. Daylight in South Chailey runs to about 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Let us know if service will run after dark, and we will talk about lighting.

- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
