Mexican catering in Tortington, served fresh
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so each plate is exactly how they like it. We serve burritos, quesadillas and tacos, which works well for milestone birthdays and family gatherings and christenings.
In a hamlet or village like Tortington, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.

Can I do a taco night 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 anything containing allergens.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

The menu, item by item

The salsas and guacamole finish every plate, and guests add as much as they like.
Quesadillas
Toasted tortillas with melted cheese inside.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Around midsummer it stays light in Tortington until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and arrangements.
- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
- We pack away when service is over.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

Tortington: venues, access and local tips
Tortington is about 3 miles north-west of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Across the BN18 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you. Tortington is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we can bring Mexican catering. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 19 miles away.
For guests coming by train, Tortington has its own station, Ford station. For a christening or wedding at a church such as St Mary Magdalene's Church, a food truck at a garden or venue nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. With the South Downs National Park about 6 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Tortington. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in. Tortington is within about 3 miles of the sea, so for a seaside event we plan around the wind. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots usually need permission from the council or landowner.
Wherever your event is in BN18, we can bring Mexican catering to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Ford Road and Gaugemaster Way, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. We also serve at events in Ford (1 mile south), Lyminster (1 mile east), Arundel (1 mile north-east), Wick (2 miles south-east) and Climping (2 miles south). We also cater in nearby towns such as Worthing (8 miles east), Bognor Regis (6 miles south-west), Chichester (9 miles west), Selsey (12 miles south-west), Littlehampton (3 miles south-east) and Shoreham-by-Sea (13 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include Arundel Castle (1.8 miles north-east) and Arundel and District Hospital (1.4 miles north). Not far away are WWT Arundel.
- Local schools include The Littlehampton Academy (2.3 miles south-east)
- Local pubs include The Arundel Arms Public House At Ford Station (less than half a mile south)
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
