Mexican street food in Saltdean, from our food truck or trailer
Few stalls draw a queue like a Mexican food truck. People follow the smell of warm tortillas, and orders come out fast from the hatch. On the menu are burrito bowls, burritos and quesadillas, and it suits village fairs and outdoor screenings.
Village fêtes and summer fairs around Saltdean can be a good fit for a taco truck. Tell us about the pitch, ground and access. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

- Vehicle access before and after the event

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
How it compares
Hot-cabinet food lacks appeal. Everything we serve is assembled to order. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Saltdean questions

How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Late-September events in Saltdean 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.
