Stanmer parties: what to know
Stanmer is about 3 miles north-east of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. Whether your party is in the middle of Stanmer or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Stanmer is one of 30 places in Brighton and Hove we cover.
Historic houses near Stanmer include Preston Manor & Gardens (2.8 miles south-west) and Royal Pavilion (3.6 miles south-west). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on outside caterers and vehicles, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Stanmer Church, with a party at home or in a hall afterwards. For a party in the countryside, the South Downs National Park is within about 4 miles. Rural gardens and fields work well for a truck, given firm ground and a way in. The coast is within about 4 miles, but seafront spots need permission and firm ground for the truck or trailer.
This part of Brighton and Hove takes in BN1, so your party can be anywhere in it. Nearby, we also cater parties in Hollingbury (1 mile south-west), Moulsecoomb (2 miles south), Bevendean (2 miles south), Patcham (2 miles west) and Hollingdean (2 miles south-west). Further out, we also cater in Brighton (3 miles south-west), Brighton and Hove (4 miles south-west), Hove (4 miles south-west), Carlton Hill (3 miles south), Hanover (3 miles south) and West Hill (3 miles south-west).

Planning the serving area
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Send a photo of the spot so we can check
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

What happens on the day
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. A summer party in Stanmer stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

FAQs for Stanmer
Can you cater a reception after a service at Stanmer Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Can you serve near the sea around Stanmer?
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.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Brighton and Hove. See all areas.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
We can. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. We give allergen information for every dish.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Why choose Mexican party catering in Stanmer?
A home-made buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Tacos and burritos are served hot, order by order. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
