Mexican street food in Eastbourne, served fresh
We agree a stall menu with you, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and a vegan filling like black beans. It works well for village fairs and street food and farmers’ markets, serving burrito bowls, vegan tacos and loaded nachos.
For events in Eastbourne, a Mexican street-food truck gives organisers one trader for several diets. Tell us the pitch, access and power arrangements. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Running an event in Eastbourne
Eastbourne is in East Sussex. Tell us where your event in Eastbourne will be, and we will plan access and set-up before the day. Eastbourne is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 19 miles away.
If you are organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as Stafford Junior School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. Events in parks such as Princes Park need permission from the council or landowner, and we will send any documents they ask for from us. Events in and around the South Downs National Park, within about 6 miles of Eastbourne, often have rules about vehicles, ground and waste; we’ll follow the site’s requirements. 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.
Wherever your event is in BN23, BN22, BN21 and BN20, we can bring Mexican street food to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Vine Square, Ashford Square and Howard Square or a nearby road, we can bring Mexican street food there, given access. You’ll find Eastbourne on the A22 and A259, which makes it straightforward to bring the truck or trailer. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Hampden Park (1 mile north-west), Upperton (1 mile south-west), Old Town (1 mile south-west), Ratton Village (2 miles west) and Meads (2 miles south). We also cater in nearby towns such as Hastings (13 miles north-east), Bexhill-on-Sea (9 miles north-east), Seaford (8 miles west), Lewes (14 miles north-west), Hailsham (6 miles north) and St Leonards (13 miles east).

Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Confirm power and water with traders
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
- Share vehicle access times with traders
- Give traders a single information pack
If crew or volunteer meals are booked, they’re served at the agreed times.
Bowls as a gluten-free choice.

Eastbourne questions
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’ll follow the site rules.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Princes Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, including Eastbourne.
How many guests can you serve?
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. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Do you cover Eastbourne?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Eastbourne and across East Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
What affects the price in Eastbourne
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How many staff you need
- What the venue already provides
- Travel, parking and access
- The length of service
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The address or venue name
- Expected numbers
- How we drive in and where we can park
The quickest way to a quote is to drop us a line using the enquiry form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll suggest a menu to suit.

For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Eastbourne? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Step by step
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. Christmas markets in Eastbourne trade in the dark from about 3:55pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:15pm.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
