Planning an event in Atherington?
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
How our Mexican street food works in Atherington
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. For open days and community events and outdoor screenings, we will put together a menu of quesadillas, tacos and burritos.
Near Atherington, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer.

Running an event in Atherington
Atherington is about 2 miles west of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. From the centre of Atherington to the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Atherington is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we can bring Mexican street food. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Atherington to Chichester (9 miles away).
If you’re organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as St Mary's CofE Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. For visitors coming by rail, the nearest station is Littlehampton station, about 1.5 miles east. Shows and fairs in the South Downs National Park, about 8 miles from Atherington at most, sometimes have rules on where traders can drive. Send us the site plan and we’ll plan around it. Within about 2 miles of the sea, coastal events bring wind and sand into the plan. A firm, sheltered pitch suits a truck or trailer best.
