Mexican party catering for your party in East Lavington

East Lavington parties: what to know
East Lavington is about 9 miles north-east of Chichester, in West Sussex. Parties in East Lavington are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. We cater in all 371 towns and villages across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Chichester, about 9 miles away.
Once the service at a church like The Parish Church of St Peter is over, the party can move somewhere with space for the truck and a queue. For a party in the countryside, the South Downs National Park is within about 5 miles. Rural gardens and fields work well for a truck, given firm ground and a way in.
We serve at parties all over GU28. Close by, we cover parties in Duncton (1 mile north-east), Graffham (1 mile north-west), Sutton (2 miles south-east), Rotherbridge (3 miles north-east) and Selham (3 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Worthing (14 miles south-east), Bognor Regis (10 miles south), Chichester (9 miles south-west), Selsey (15 miles south), Littlehampton (10 miles south-east) and Emsworth (14 miles south-west).
Well-known places in the area include Coultershaw Heritage Site (2.6 miles north-east) and Midhurst Community Hospital (5.1 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Bignor Hill and Graffham Common.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Let the neighbours know
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
We have allergen details for every dish, so guests can check before ordering.
Simple quesadillas for children.
How the day works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A photo of the space helps. A summer party in East Lavington stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send us your date, address and numbers.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.

- Guests order at the hatch or build their own tacos.

What else we do in East Lavington
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

East Lavington: your questions answered
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Parish Church of St Peter?
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. Tell us where the reception will be.
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 is a supply near where we will park.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so get in touch early.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
What does Mexican party catering cost?
