Mexican catering for your event in Vines Cross
We bring our truck or trailer to events in and around Vines Cross: private gardens, venue grounds, courtyards and fields, as long as there’s safe access. At staff parties and office lunches and festivals, fairs and markets, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and tacos.
In a hamlet or village like Vines Cross, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Planning a food truck in Vines Cross
Vines Cross is about 5 miles north of Hailsham, in East Sussex. We serve at events in homes, gardens and venues in Vines Cross and the surrounding area. Vines Cross is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Vines Cross to Brighton (19 miles away).
For a fête or sports day at a school such as Maynards Green Community Primary School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking. Nearby historic houses include Horselunges Manor (3.6 miles south). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before you book one. With the High Weald National Landscape about 6 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Vines Cross. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.
Mexican catering in TN21 is planned around your venue and access. Close by, we cover events in Warbleton (1 mile north-east), Horam (1 mile west), Maynard's Green (1 mile north-west), Burlow (2 miles south-west) and Old Heathfield (2 miles north). Larger places within reach include Eastbourne (10 miles south), Hastings (14 miles east), Bexhill-on-Sea (11 miles south-east), Seaford (13 miles south-west), Lewes (12 miles west) and Hailsham (5 miles south).
Well-known places in the area include Old Castle (3.9 miles east) and Sussex Farm Museum (1.1 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Selwyns Wood.
- Local schools include Heathfield Community College (2.2 miles north)
- Local pubs include The Brewers Arms (less than half a mile north)
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Count children separately
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
We work around your timings, and adapt if they move.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter or as a late snack.
Vines Cross questions
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Will you travel to a small place like Vines Cross?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Vines Cross.
How much will it cost?
There’s no fixed price list, as each event is different. Tell us your numbers and plans and we’ll send a quote for your event.
Do you do a drinks bar?
Our drinks bar can be added to any booking, with bar staff serving margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we will check that with you.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan carefully for diets and keep options separate, but we can’t promise a kitchen without traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Planners, venues and businesses
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
Space, access and the venue
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
