Parties in Saddlescombe: gardens, venues and local tips
Saddlescombe is about 4 miles north of Brighton and Hove, in West Sussex. For Mexican party catering in Saddlescombe, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards. We cater in all 371 towns and villages across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages.
Rail travellers will be glad to hear that Hassocks station is about 3.2 miles away. Close to Saddlescombe are historic houses such as Portslade Manor (3.3 miles south) and Preston Manor & Gardens (3.7 miles south-east). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on outside caterers and vehicles, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. For a party in the countryside, the South Downs National Park is within about 5 miles. Rural gardens and fields work well for a truck, given firm ground and a way in. A party by the sea is within reach, as Saddlescombe is within about 6 miles of the coast. Wind and soft sand are the things to plan for.
We cater parties across BN45. Close by, we cover parties in Pyecombe (1 mile north-east), Waterhall (2 miles south-east), Westdene (2 miles south-east), Patcham (3 miles south-east) and West Blatchington (3 miles south).

Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
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.
