Mexican party catering for your party in East Saltdean
We plan the menu together, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. For exam-results parties and retirement and leaving parties, we will put together a menu of loaded nachos, burritos and tacos and more.
Parties around East Saltdean are often relaxed, garden-and-gazebo affairs. A taco truck on the drive fits right in, with power and water agreed beforehand. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Parties in East Saltdean: gardens, venues and local tips
East Saltdean is about 4 miles west of Newhaven, in Brighton and Hove. For a party in East Saltdean, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards. East Saltdean is one of 30 places in Brighton and Hove where we can bring Mexican party catering.

Families celebrating a christening at a church such as St Nicholas might carry on at a garden or hall where we can park up.

East Saltdean: your questions answered
Is it possible to have you in Beacon Hill?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
We’re having a ceremony at St Nicholas: 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.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service usually suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.

Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Your date and when you want service to start
- What power and water the site has
Send us the date, your venue or BN2 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
How the day works
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. A summer party in East Saltdean stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- We start by checking your date and the space.
- You choose fillings, sides and extras.
- We confirm power, water and the way in.
- Service starts at the agreed time.
- We pack away and the party carries on.
Getting ready for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
