Mexican catering for Stanmer events
Mexican catering in Stanmer, served fresh
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too, with licensing checked with you. At fundraisers and school events and milestone birthdays, we will put together a menu of quesadillas, fresh salsas and guacamole and tacos.
In a small place like Stanmer, events are usually in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Stanmer: venues, access and local tips
Stanmer is about 3 miles north-east of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. For Mexican catering in Stanmer, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. Stanmer is one of 30 towns and villages in Brighton and Hove we cover.
A school such as Coldean Primary School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck. Historic houses near Stanmer include Preston Manor & Gardens (2.8 miles south-west) and Royal Pavilion (3.6 miles south-west). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before you book one. Stanmer is within about 4 miles of the South Downs National Park, with country venues and gardens that can suit a food truck. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about vehicles and catering, so check with yours. With the sea within about 4 miles, a beach-side event might appeal. Promenades and beaches typically need permission, and the truck or trailer has to park on firm ground, not sand.
We cover events in every part of BN1 and the streets around it. For events just outside Stanmer, we cover Hollingbury (1 mile south-west), Moulsecoomb (2 miles south), Bevendean (2 miles south), Patcham (2 miles west) and Hollingdean (2 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Brighton (3 miles south-west), Brighton and Hove (4 miles south-west), Hove (4 miles south-west), Carlton Hill (3 miles south), Hanover (3 miles south) and West Hill (3 miles south-west).

What happens on the day
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. Around midsummer it stays light in Stanmer until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our truck or trailer.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches

Dietary needs and planning tips
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Count children separately
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests help themselves.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff and we will confirm what’s possible with your quote.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
What’s on the menu
Loaded nachos
Crisp tortilla chips loaded with toppings, salsa and guacamole, made for sharing.
Salsas and guacamole
The salsas and guacamole finish every plate.
Questions from Stanmer
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Stanmer Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Do you cater at coastal events near Stanmer?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots usually need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, Brighton and Hove included. Find your area.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What can we choose from?
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or black beans. The sample menu shows the options.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a quote.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
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 will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
