How our Mexican party catering works in Houghton
The menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. On the menu are loaded nachos, tacos and burritos, which works well for baby celebrations and exam-results parties.
Country parties near Houghton suit a food truck or trailer: parked up on firm ground and serving from the hatch. Plan a gazebo for guests in case of rain. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Hosting a taco party in Houghton
Houghton is about 6 miles north of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Across the BN18 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you, as long as there’s access. Houghton is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we can bring Mexican party catering. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Houghton to Brighton (about 19 miles away).
Thinking of a party in Arundel Park? A food truck in a public park typically needs permission from the landowner, so check first. Historic houses near Houghton include Bignor Roman Villa (2.8 miles north-west) and Parham House (3.1 miles north-east). A milestone birthday in a historic setting is possible, but find out early whether a food truck can get on site. For a party in the countryside, the South Downs National Park is within about 2 miles. Rural gardens and fields work well for a truck, given firm ground and a way in.
We cater parties across BN18 and the streets around it. We also serve at parties in Arundel (3 miles south), Warningcamp (3 miles south-east), Crossbush (3 miles south), Tortington (4 miles south) and Poling (4 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Worthing (8 miles south-east), Bognor Regis (9 miles south-west), Chichester (11 miles west), Selsey (15 miles south-west), Littlehampton (6 miles south) and Shoreham-by-Sea (13 miles east).
Nearby you will also find Arundel and District Hospital (2.7 miles south) and Amberley Castle (1.2 miles north-east). Open spaces near Houghton include Amberley Wild Brooks and Bignor Hill.
FAQs for Houghton
Could you serve our guests after a service at The Parish Church of St Nicholas?
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.
Could you serve in Arundel Park?
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 will send what they need from us.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll suggest mild options.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Usually. We need firm, level ground outside, access and the venue’s agreement.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.

Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
- Mexican drinks bar: margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas
