How our Mexican street food works in Hamsey
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. We serve loaded nachos, burritos and tacos, and it is a good fit for school and charity events and community events and open days.
Rural events near Hamsey can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food truck is a big help. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Organising for someone else?

Comparing your options
Not every trader covers vegans and coeliacs. We can serve vegan fillings and corn tortillas. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

Running an event in Hamsey
Hamsey is about 1 mile north of Lewes, in East Sussex. From the centre of Hamsey to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Hamsey is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex we cover. We cater right across the region, from Hamsey to Brighton (about 7 miles away).
For a public event, it helps to tell people that Cooksbridge station is about 0.8 miles away. Events in parks such as Railway Land need permission from the council or landowner, and we will send any documents they ask for from us. Shows and fairs in the South Downs National Park, about 2 miles from Hamsey at most, sometimes have rules on where traders can drive. Send us the site plan and we will plan around it.
Here we cover the BN8 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. We also serve at events in Offham (1 mile south-west), South Malling (1 mile south), Lewes (1 mile south), Cliffe (2 miles south) and Southover (2 miles south). Further out, we also cater in Eastbourne (14 miles south-east), Seaford (9 miles south-east), Hailsham (11 miles east), Crowborough (13 miles north-east), Uckfield (7 miles north-east) and Newhaven (7 miles south).

Should I do it myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
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.
