The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our truck or trailer, and get on with serving. Winter evenings in Stedham close in by about 4:00pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- 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.
- Together we confirm where the truck or trailer will park, plus power and water.
- We arrive, set up and cook to order, with salsas and guacamole made fresh.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Find out what power and water are available
Ask for a quote
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, use our quote form.

About our Mexican catering in Stedham
Planning taco catering for an event in Stedham? With mobile Mexican catering, we bring the kitchen with us: our food truck or trailer parks at your venue and we serve hot food straight from the hatch. You don’t need a kitchen at the venue. For big birthday celebrations and garden parties, we’ll put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, burritos and tacos and more.
In a hamlet or village like Stedham, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Mexican catering around Stedham
Stedham is about 7 miles east of Petersfield, in West Sussex. Whether your event is in the middle of Stedham or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Stedham is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. Our nearest city page is Chichester, about 11 miles away.
For a fête or sports day at a school such as Stedham Primary School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking. Close to Stedham are historic houses such as Cowdray House (1.8 miles east). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before booking one. With the South Downs National Park about 2 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Stedham. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.
This part of West Sussex takes in GU29, so your event can be anywhere in it. Streets in the area include The Street, The Alley and Queens Street, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Other places close to Stedham for Mexican catering include Iping (1 mile north-west), Woolbeding (1 mile east), Minsted (1 mile south-west), Bepton Common (1 mile south-east) and Midhurst (1 mile south-east). Further out, we also cater in Bognor Regis (15 miles south), Chichester (11 miles south), Emsworth (12 miles south-west), Storrington (15 miles east), Billingshurst (14 miles east) and Portfield (11 miles south).

- Local schools include Midhurst Rother College (1.6 miles east)
What we need at the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Stedham
Do you come out to small places like Stedham?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Could you serve our guests after a service at The Parish Church of St James?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Is the food very hot?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you cater in Stedham?
Yes, we do. Stedham is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included. To get it right:
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests help themselves while we keep it topped up.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas.
Popular choices

Should I do it myself?

If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
