Mexican catering in Woodmancote, from our food truck or trailer
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish. Popular choices include burritos, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it suits family celebrations and markets and community events.
In a rural place like Woodmancote, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Planning a food truck in Woodmancote
Woodmancote is about 6 miles south-west of Burgess Hill, in West Sussex. From the centre of Woodmancote to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cover all 371 towns and villages across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater right across the region, from Woodmancote to Brighton (about 8 miles away).
Thinking of an event in Tottington Wood? Public parks generally need the landowner’s permission for a food truck, so check first. If you are celebrating after a service at a church like The Parish Church of St Peter, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. Venues in and around the South Downs National Park, within about 6 miles of Woodmancote, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before booking.
We cover events in every part of the BN5 postcode area. Close by, we cover events in Blackstone (1 mile north-east), Small Dole (2 miles south-west), Henfield (2 miles north-west), Albourne (2 miles north-east) and High Cross (2 miles north-east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Crawley (14 miles north), Horsham (11 miles north), Worthing (9 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (8 miles north-east), Burgess Hill (6 miles north-east) and Littlehampton (15 miles south-west).
Nearby you’ll also find The Dene Hospital (4.7 miles north-east) and The Budding Foundation Museum of Gardening (4 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Woods Mill and Truleigh Hill.
Can I do a taco night myself?

A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Common questions in Woodmancote
We are having a ceremony at The Parish Church of St Peter: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Will you travel to a small place like Woodmancote?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will talk licensing through with you and your venue.
Can you set up at our venue?
Send us details of the venue and the access, and we will check it works. Space for a queue and, if you choose one, a taco-bar table helps too.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.

Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Count children separately
- Tell us what other food is being served
We arrive early enough to set up calmly. Someone from the venue just needs to point us to the agreed spot.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff and we will set out what we can do in your quote.
What happens on the day
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. Evenings in Woodmancote stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm. Festoon lights or floodlights help once it gets dark.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We confirm the way in and where we’ll park.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
Preparing for the day

- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
