You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: a taco menu, or tacos plus loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls. Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can come from our drinks bar. It works well for festivals, fairs and markets and weddings and evening receptions, with quesadillas, burritos and a build-your-own taco bar.

Close to West Blatchington are historic houses such as Preston Manor & Gardens (1.3 miles east) and Portslade Manor (1.7 miles west).

The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots typically need permission from the council or landowner.

Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Before you choose a spot
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we offer
- Quesadillas
- Burritos
- Loaded nachos

West Blatchington: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Peter's Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Can you serve near the sea around West Blatchington?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots normally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, including West Blatchington.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
What space do you need?
Tell us about the venue and the way in, and we’ll confirm what we need. We also need room for a queue.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
What happens on the day
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. Evenings in West Blatchington stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm. For anything running past sunset, think about lights near the hatch.
