DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Mexican street food for your event in Hollingbury
Crew catering can be timed to your schedule, so your team eats well on a long day. It works well for street food and farmers’ markets and music and food festivals, serving tacos, vegan tacos and burrito bowls.
Village fêtes and summer fairs around Hollingbury can be a good fit for a taco truck. Send us the pitch and access details. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

What we need at the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
- Flat, firm ground
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Agree when vehicles can move on site
- Give traders a single information pack
- Book crew catering in advance
We set up at the agreed time.
Nachos for groups.

Street food for events around Hollingbury
Hollingbury is about 2 miles north of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove.

We cover all 30 towns and villages across Brighton and Hove.
For visitors coming by rail, the nearest station is Moulsecoomb station, about 1.1 miles south-east. If you are organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as Carden Nursery and Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. Shows and fairs in the South Downs National Park, about 5 miles from Hollingbury at most, sometimes have rules on where traders can drive. Send us the site plan and we will plan around it. Within about 3 miles of the sea, coastal events bring wind and sand into the plan. A firm, sheltered pitch suits a truck or trailer best.

Neighbouring places where we cater events include Patcham (1 mile west), Withdean (1 mile south-west), Hollingdean (1 mile south), Preston (1 mile south-west) and Westdene (1 mile west).

Common questions in Hollingbury
Do you cater at coastal events near Hollingbury?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots typically need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Which station is closest to Hollingbury?
Moulsecoomb station, about 1.1 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we will keep their options separate.
Can you serve alcohol at our event?
We can add our drinks bar if the event is licensed for it. Licensing is checked with you first.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you need water?
Tell us what’s available at the pitch and we will confirm what we need. Power and water are agreed with each booking.
How the day works
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. Summer events in Hollingbury have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- You get our stall menu, what we need at the pitch and the paperwork you request.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- We cook to order and serve through the agreed trading hours.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Find out what power and water are available
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
