Mexican catering in Southwick, from our food truck or trailer
Need taco catering in Southwick? Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so tell us your numbers. It suits wedding breakfasts and evening food and fairs and festivals, with tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar.
In a small place like Southwick, events are normally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Step by step
