FAQs for Brunswick
Can you bring your truck or trailer to St. Ann's Well Gardens?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
We are having a ceremony at St Stephen's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you keep it mild?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you have a licence to sell alcohol?
You will need either the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We check the licensing with you before the day. GOV.UK explains Temporary Event Notices.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.

A Mexican drinks bar in Brunswick: local tips
Brunswick is about 1 mile south-west of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. We cater events at homes, gardens and venues in Brunswick and nearby villages. We serve in all 30 towns and villages across Brighton and Hove, from the larger towns to small villages.
Guests travelling by rail: Brighton station is about 0.6 miles away. A gathering in St. Ann's Well Gardens? Check the park’s rules first, as alcohol and vehicles generally need permission. An outdoor bar near the South Downs National Park, within about 7 miles of Brunswick, needs firm ground and a way in, plus the right licensing, which we will check with you. The coast is within about a mile of Brunswick. Wind, sand and the rules on alcohol in public places all need planning for a seaside bar.
We serve at events all over BN1, BN3 and BN50 and the streets around it. Whether your event is on Farm Road, York Road and Powis Road or anywhere nearby, we will plan where to park and serve. For events just outside Brunswick, we cover Seven Dials (1 mile north-east), West Hill (1 mile north-east), Prestonville (1 mile north), Hove (1 mile north-west) and Carlton Hill (1 mile east). Within a short drive, we also cover Hangleton (3 miles north-west), Patcham (3 miles north), Hollingbury (3 miles north), Bevendean (3 miles north-east), Saltdean (5 miles east) and East Saltdean (6 miles east). As one of the bigger places in Brighton and Hove, Brunswick has lots of places to hold an event, though town-centre access for a truck or trailer needs planning.
Well-known places in the area include Old Police Cells Museum (0.7 miles south-east) and Churchill Square (within half a mile east). Green spaces nearby include Whitehawk Hill and Newmarket Hill.
- Nearby schools include Brighton Girls (under half a mile north-east) and The Drive Prep School (0.9 miles north-west)
- Local pubs include Maris & Otter pub (within half a mile west)

How it works

- Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
- You get a suggested drinks menu and a quote.
- On the day we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.
