Mexican street food near Pett
Pett events: pitches and permissions
Pett is about 5 miles east of Hastings, in East Sussex. For Mexican street food in Pett, we plan around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. We serve in 289 places across East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 32 miles away.
A fundraiser for a church like St Mary & St Peter might use a food truck to give visitors a reason to stay longer. The coast is within about 5 miles of Pett, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch, on firm ground rather than sand.

Local streets include Elms Lane, Pett Road and Chick Hill; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. If your venue is just outside Pett, we also cover Fairlight Cove (1 mile south), Friar's Hill (1 mile west), Guestling Green (2 miles west), Fairlight (2 miles south-west) and Guestling (2 miles west).

Mexican street food in Pett, served fresh
One Mexican trader covers several diets: we serve vegan and vegetarian fillings and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors. That helps organisers balance the line-up. Popular choices include burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas, which works well for school fairs and fundraisers and street food and farmers’ markets.
At a field event near Pett, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

FAQs for Pett
Which station should guests use for Pett?
Three Oaks station, about 2.5 miles west of the centre.
Do you cater in villages like Pett?
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 provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us 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). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Share vehicle access times with traders
- Confirm power and water with traders
- Ask for allergen information at each stall

The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our food truck or trailer, and get on with serving. By late September, it’s dark in Pett at around 7:00pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Share the running order, including any speeches

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
