Common questions in Lewes
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Lewes?
Yes, if the school is happy and there is access for the truck or trailer. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a quote.
Do you cater in Lewes?
We do. Lewes is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so contact us early.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.

How we price Mexican street food
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Travel, parking and access
- Timings and hours
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The venue or postcode
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Your menu ideas
- The date and time of the event
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we will put together a menu and price.
Where the truck can go in Lewes
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
- The event’s site rules and timings
- A level pitch on firm ground
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
The process
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps. For an evening event in Lewes, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.
- 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.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send you a clear quote.
Planning help
Mexican street food or something else?
For a stall that adds atmosphere, tacos and burritos deliver. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Ensure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Share power and water details early
We set up at the agreed time, following your trader pack.
Nachos for groups.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
- Mexican drinks bar: margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas
