Mexican street food in Roedean
Mexican street food in Roedean, served fresh
We slow-cook fillings ahead and finish them on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. We serve burritos, burrito bowls and vegan tacos, and it is a good fit for village fairs and sports club events.
Near Roedean, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Provide seating near the food
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
If crew or volunteer meals are booked, they’re served at the agreed times.
Loaded nachos for sharing.
Is Mexican street food right for your event?
Some traders struggle with vegan and gluten-free visitors. We can serve vegan fillings and corn tortillas. 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.

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
What happens on the day
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. Late-September events in Roedean see sunset at about 7:05pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- Tacos, burritos and more are served to order while the event is open.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Your questions about Mexican street food in Roedean
Which station should guests use for Roedean?
Guests can use Brighton station, about 2.2 miles north-west of Roedean.
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
We can. Crew, volunteer and hospitality catering is available, with or without a public stall.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a quote.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Can we book you as a trader?
Tell us about the event, dates and pitch, and we’ll let you know if we are available.
