Mexican party catering for Portslade events
Where the truck can go in Portslade
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- A quick photo of the access helps us plan
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Mexican party catering in Portslade, from our food truck or trailer
The menu is agreed with you, perhaps with carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. Popular choices include quesadillas, guacamole and salsas and a build-your-own taco bar, which works well for anniversaries and engagement parties and naming days and christenings.
In a place like Portslade, a garden party is normally the easiest option. Tell us about the drive, gates and parking, and we’ll plan the rest. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Portslade questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Nicolas Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
What’s the nearest station to Portslade for guests?
Guests can use Fishersgate station, about 0.7 miles south of Portslade.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Often, yes. We need firm, level ground outside, access and the venue’s agreement.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will talk licensing through with you.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Why choose Mexican party catering in Portslade?
Ordering takeaway is easy but forgettable. A food truck at your party is something guests remember. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
