Mexican party catering for your party in Newhaven
We plan the menu together, perhaps with carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. For baby celebrations and garden get-togethers, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, burritos and tacos and more.
Birthdays and summer parties in Newhaven often happen at home or in a local hall. A food truck can work at either, as long as we can drive in and park on level ground. Everything is prepared fresh for your party and served from our truck or trailer.

Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
What happens on the day
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. At midsummer, it is light in Newhaven until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- It starts with your date, the address, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- Before the day, we check the space, the way in, power and water.
- On the day, we arrive, set up and start serving at the agreed time.
- After serving, we tidy up and leave you to celebrate.
Preparing for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Newhaven questions
How far is Newhaven from London?
It is about 49 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you cater 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.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
What does Mexican party catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
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.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
