Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- What’s on the menu
- Distance and access to the venue
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

How it works
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. Evening drinks in Kemptown stay light until about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so a summer drinks bar can run into the evening in daylight. For a bar running past dusk, ask the venue about outdoor lighting.
- First, we check your date.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- We tidy up at the end.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Common questions in Kemptown
Can you cater a reception after a service at St George's Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How far is Kemptown from central London?
It’s about 47 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not usually stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Do you come to Kemptown?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Kemptown and across Brighton and Hove. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What’s on the menu
Soft drinks
Soft drinks alongside the rest.
Tamarind and fruit waters
Fruit waters and tamarind, light and refreshing.
Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

A gathering in Queen's Park? Check the park’s rules first, as alcohol and vehicles usually need permission. If you’re looking at a historic venue around Kemptown, check its rules on outside bars and vehicles early. An outdoor bar near the South Downs National Park, within about 7 miles of Kemptown, needs firm ground and a way in, plus the right licensing, which we will check with you. Drinks by the sea could work, as Kemptown is within about a mile of the coast. Licensing on the seafront needs checking, and we will do that with you.
