Ticehurst: venues, access and local tips
Ticehurst is about 9 miles south-east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in East Sussex. Across the TN5 area, we can serve your guests. Ticehurst is one of 289 places in East Sussex where we can bring Mexican catering. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Ticehurst to Brighton (28 miles away).
When the service is at a church such as St Mary's Church, the food typically happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. By rail: Stonegate station is about 2.7 miles away. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 4 miles of Ticehurst, 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.
Anywhere in TN5, we can bring Mexican catering to you. Local streets include High Street, Springfields and Farthing Hill; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Three Leg Cross (1 mile north-west), Flimwell (2 miles east), Stonecrouch (2 miles north), Burgh Hill (3 miles south-east) and Etchingham (3 miles south-east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Hastings (14 miles south-east), Bexhill-on-Sea (14 miles south), Hailsham (14 miles south-west), Crowborough (11 miles west), St Leonards (15 miles south-east) and Uckfield (14 miles west).
A little further out are Finchcocks Musical Museum (4 miles north) and Ticehurst House Hospital (0.6 miles west). Not far away are Bewl Water.
- Local pubs include The Chequers Public House (under half a mile south-west)
Mexican catering in Ticehurst, served fresh
Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. Guests come up to the hatch, chat while they wait and take something hot back to their seats. For family celebrations and charity and school events, we will put together a menu of fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and burritos for your guests.
In a rural place like Ticehurst, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

- How dietary needs and allergies are handled
- Where to see their hygiene rating
Catering for every guest
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
We work around your timings, and adapt if they move.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added from our drinks bar.
Popular choices
Build-your-own taco bar
A taco bar is relaxed and sociable, and guests with different diets can choose what suits them, with every dish labelled.
Salsas and guacamole
Guacamole and salsas, freshly made.
Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- What the venue already provides
- Guest numbers
- Distance and access to the venue
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The date and time of the event
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both

Common questions in Ticehurst
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, East Sussex included. See all areas.
Do you cover Ticehurst?
We do. Ticehurst is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you serve in bad weather?
We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
Is the food very hot?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
