Mexican street food for your event in Barnham
A Mexican food truck pulls a crowd at any outdoor event. People follow the smell of warm tortillas, and orders are served quickly from the hatch. It works well for community days and school fairs and fundraisers, serving tacos, loaded nachos and quesadillas.
Rural events near Barnham can be a long way from food outlets, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

The process
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. Summer events in Barnham have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

Barnham events: pitches and permissions
Barnham is about 4 miles north-east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Whether your event is in the middle of Barnham or on the outskirts, Mexican street food works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Barnham is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we can bring Mexican street food. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 22 miles away.
Organisers of a summer fête for a church such as The Parish Church of St Mary could add tacos and burritos alongside the bric-a-brac. PTA volunteers planning an event for a school like Barnham Primary School might like a trader who brings everything and serves quickly. Shows and fairs in the South Downs National Park, about 7 miles from Barnham at most, sometimes have rules on where traders can drive. Send us the site plan and we will plan around it. Within about 4 miles of the sea, coastal events bring wind and sand into the plan. A firm, sheltered pitch suits a truck or trailer best.
Mexican street food in PO22 is planned around your venue and access and timings. Streets in the area include Garden Crescent, Dollery Road and Goodacres, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Neighbouring places where we cater events include West Barnham (1 mile north-west), Walberton (1 mile north-east), Yapton (1 mile south-east), Eastergate (1 mile north-west) and Lidsey (1 mile south-west).

Organising for someone else?

Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
- Flat, firm ground
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
