How our Mexican street food works in Birdham
We follow your site rules, from arrival times to waste. On the menu are quesadillas, loaded nachos and tacos, which works well for summer fairs and fêtes and outdoor cinema and theatre nights.
Rural events near Birdham can be a long way from food outlets, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

- Outdoor cinema and theatre nights
- Fundraisers and fêtes
- County and country shows
PTA volunteers planning an event for a school like Birdham CE Primary School might like a trader who brings everything and serves quickly.

How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. A December market in Birdham loses the light at about 4:00pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- We check your dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We are ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
How to prepare
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer

Quesadillas
Popular with children.
Planning the serving area
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Share power and water details early
- Agree when vehicles can move on site
- Check allergen information is on display
- Put picnic tables near the traders
We keep in touch with your traders’ contact on the day.
A vegan filling on every menu.
Birdham: your questions answered
Can you serve near the sea around Birdham?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
What’s the nearest station to Birdham for guests?
Guests can use Fishbourne station, about 3.3 miles north of Birdham.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
How quickly can you serve?
Tell us expected visitor numbers and we will plan for peak times, so queues keep moving.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Send us the details, and we will reply with our availability and what we need.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.

We cater in 371 places across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
A fundraiser for a church like St James' Church might use a food truck to give visitors a reason to stay longer. Visitors arriving by train will find that the nearest station is Fishbourne station, about 3.3 miles north. The coast is within about 5 miles of Birdham, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch, on firm ground rather than sand.

Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
