Mexican party catering for your party in Preston
Birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations all suit Mexican street food. The truck or trailer is a focal point, and every plate goes out hot. At housewarmings and summer garden parties, we’ll put together a menu of guacamole and salsas, tacos and loaded nachos and more.
In a place like Preston, a garden party is typically the easiest option. Let us know how the truck or trailer can reach the garden, and we will plan the rest. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Party venues around Preston
Preston is about 1 mile north-west of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. From the centre of Preston to the outskirts, Mexican party catering works the same way: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Preston is one of 30 towns and villages in Brighton and Hove we cover.
After a christening at a church like St John the Evangelist's Church, a taco truck at home or at a hall is an easy way to feed family and friends. Nearby historic houses include Preston Manor & Gardens (less than half a mile south) and Royal Pavilion (1.7 miles south). If you are hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers and vehicles first. Hosting near the South Downs National Park, within about 6 miles of Preston? Let us know about gates, slopes and soft grass before the day. Near the coast, within about 2 miles, a beach-side party is tempting, but seafront spots need permission and firm ground for the truck or trailer.
Anywhere in BN1, BN3 and BN88, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Home Road, Bates Road and Loder Road, and a party on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. You’ll find Preston on the A23, which makes it straightforward to bring the truck or trailer. Neighbouring places where we cater parties include Withdean (1 mile north), Prestonville (1 mile south), Hollingdean (1 mile east), Seven Dials (1 mile south) and West Hill (1 mile south). Larger places within reach include Saltdean (6 miles south-east), East Saltdean (6 miles south-east), Roedean (3 miles south-east), Rottingdean (4 miles south-east) and Ovingdean (4 miles south-east).
A little further out are Churchill Square (1.5 miles south) and Brighton Transport Museum (0.5 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Newmarket Hill and Ladies Mile.
- Local schools include Dorothy Stringer High School (less than half a mile north-east) and Varndean College (0.5 miles north-east)
- Local pubs include The Crown and Anchor Inn (under half a mile south-west)

Common questions in Preston
How far is Preston from central London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Do you cater at coastal events near Preston?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
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.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Yes, if there’s space outside for the truck or trailer and the venue agrees. Check the venue allows a catering vehicle.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.

- Distance and access to the venue

- How many staff you need
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
