About our Mexican street food in Poling
For festivals, numbers can be larger than most of our events, so tell us expected visitor numbers and trading hours and we will plan around them. Popular choices include burrito bowls, burritos and tacos, which works well for crew and volunteer catering and outdoor screenings.
At a field event near Poling, power and water may be limited; let us know and we’ll confirm the arrangements. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Your questions about Mexican street food in Poling
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Poling?
Yes, if the school is happy and there is access for the truck or trailer. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What’s the nearest station to Poling for guests?
Arundel station, about 1.6 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
We plan stock and service around your expected numbers, so queues keep moving.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
Can vegans eat at your stall?
We do. There are vegan tacos and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors.
Can you feed our volunteers?
We can. We can cook for crew, volunteers or a hospitality area as well as, or instead of, a public stall.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Is Mexican street food right for your event?
Burger stalls are common. A Mexican trader adds variety. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.

Running an event in Poling
Poling is about 2 miles north of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Tell us where your event in Poling will be, and we will plan access and set-up. We cover all 371 towns and villages across West Sussex, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Poling to Brighton (about 17 miles away).
PTA volunteers planning an event for a school like The Littlehampton Academy might like a trader who brings everything and serves quickly. For visitors coming by rail, the nearest station is Arundel station, about 1.6 miles north-west. Shows and fairs in the South Downs National Park, about 5 miles from Poling at most, sometimes have rules on where traders can drive. Send us the site plan and we’ll 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.
We serve at events all over BN18 and the streets around it. We also serve at events in Crossbush (1 mile north-west), Warningcamp (1 mile north-west), Toddington (1 mile south-west), Lyminster (2 miles west) and Rustington (2 miles south). We also cater in nearby towns such as Worthing (5 miles east), Bognor Regis (8 miles south-west), Chichester (12 miles west), Selsey (14 miles south-west), Shoreham-by-Sea (11 miles east) and Lancing (8 miles east).
Nearby you’ll also find Rustington Museum (2 miles south) and Zachary Merton Hospital (2.1 miles south). Open spaces near Poling include Highdown Hill and WWT Arundel.
