Event catering near Alfriston

If you are organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as Alfriston School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Church of St. Andrew, a taco truck adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. Events in and around the South Downs National Park, within about a mile of Alfriston, often have rules about vehicles, ground and waste; we’ll follow the site’s requirements. Seafront festivals and markets, with the coast within about 4 miles of Alfriston, need the organiser’s permission for traders. Send us the pitch details and we will check access.

How it works
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. A December market in Alfriston loses the light at about 3:55pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:15pm.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We send our menu, pitch requirements and the documents you ask traders for.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- We cook to order and serve through the agreed trading hours.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.

Your questions about Mexican street food in Alfriston
Do you come out to small places like Alfriston?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you come to events in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service usually suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will suggest mild options.
Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
- A level pitch on firm ground
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Plan seating near the food area
- Book crew catering in advance
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Tell traders about power and water before the day
Allergen details are on hand for every dish.
