Southover parties: what to know
Southover is about 1 mile south-east of Lewes, in East Sussex. Give us the address of your party in Southover, and we will plan the journey and set-up before the day. Southover is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 7 miles away.
Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Church of St Michael, with a party at home or in a hall afterwards. Nearby historic houses include Anne of Cleves House (less than half a mile south-west) and Monk's House (2.2 miles south). A milestone birthday in a historic setting is possible, but find out early whether a food truck can get on site. Southover is within about a mile of the South Downs National Park, so a garden party here may come with a lovely view. Country lanes can be narrow, so tell us about the route in.
This part of East Sussex takes in BN7 and BN8, so your party can be anywhere in it. Streets in the area include Ham Lane, New Road and Bell Lane, and a party on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

FAQs for Southover
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.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Michael: can you cater afterwards?
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. Send us the reception address.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will talk licensing through with you.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
The process
We work to your timings. If things run behind, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. A summer party in Southover stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Other catering in Southover
Before you choose a spot
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you. What matters most:
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Tacos
Tacos are easy party food. You choose the fillings with us.
Build-your-own taco bar
A taco bar keeps a party sociable.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
For event organisers in Southover
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
