PTA volunteers planning an event for a school like Firle Church of England Primary School might like a trader who brings everything and serves quickly. A market or festival in Lewes and Laughton Levels would be licensed by whoever manages the park, and we’ll provide our part of the paperwork.

Seafront festivals and markets, with the coast within about 6 miles of Firle, need the organiser’s permission for traders. Send us the pitch details and we will check access.

How it compares
Burger stalls are common. A Mexican trader adds variety to a food line-up. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Why us?
- Menus for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
- Quoted for your event
- A plan agreed before the day
- We cover Firle and the whole of East Sussex
Read our pricing and what Mexican catering costs.
Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Your questions about Mexican street food in Firle
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Lewes and Laughton Levels?
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 come out to small places like Firle?
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 cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. We offer dairy-free options, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Tell us about the event, dates and pitch, and we’ll check availability.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. Christmas markets in Firle trade in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:15pm.
- We check your dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- We’re ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We trade, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
