A school such as Patcham Infant School running a summer fair could book a taco truck. Visitors arriving by train will find that the nearest station is Preston Park station, about 1.3 miles south. Within about 5 miles is the South Downs National Park, where events may have extra rules on vehicles and waste; we will follow the site’s requirements.

Is Mexican street food right for your event?
Food that sits in a hot cabinet is not much to look at. Everything we serve is assembled to order. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
