Mexican catering for your event in Willingdon
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so let us know how many you expect. On the menu are burrito bowls, tacos and loaded nachos, and it’s a good fit for christenings and family parties and charity and school events.
In a hamlet or village like Willingdon, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

Organising for someone else?
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
Step by step
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Evenings in Willingdon stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm. For anything running past sunset, think about lights near the hatch.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We confirm the way in and where we will park.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Questions from Willingdon
Do you cater at coastal events near Willingdon?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Will you travel to a small place like Willingdon?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
What if it rains?
We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, though guests need a covered place to eat.
What food do you serve?
Tacos and taco bars, plus burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. See our sample menu.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a photo of the access and the space.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
On the day, we arrive in good time to park up and get ready. Someone from the venue just needs to point us to the agreed spot.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added from our drinks bar, with licensing checked with you.
What Mexican catering costs
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- How many guests we’re serving
- Parking and the route in
- What’s on the menu
- How many staff you need
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of where we’d park
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Your menu ideas
- Roughly how many adults and children
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send you a clear quote.

Catering an event in Willingdon
Willingdon is about 2 miles north-west of Eastbourne, in East Sussex. Across the BN22 area, we can serve your guests, as long as there is access. Willingdon is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex we cover. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 17 miles away.
Historic houses near Willingdon include Alfriston Clergy House (4.2 miles west) and Michelham Priory (4.5 miles north-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and vehicles early. A school such as Oakwood Primary Academy running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck. With the South Downs National Park about 5 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Willingdon. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in. With the sea within about 4 miles, a beach-side event might appeal. Promenades and beaches usually need permission, and the truck or trailer has to park on firm ground, not sand.
Here we cover the BN22 and BN20 postcode area. Streets in the area include Downs Road, Eastbourne Road and Summerlands Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. For events just outside Willingdon, we cover Lower Willingdon (1 mile north-west), Wannock (1 mile north-west), Filching (1 mile west), Polegate (1 mile north) and Folkington (2 miles north-west).

Before you choose a spot
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Why us?
