Mexican street food for your event in Selmeston
A Mexican food truck pulls a crowd at any outdoor event. The smell of warm tortillas and slow-cooked fillings brings people over, and orders come out fast from the hatch. It suits hospitality and crew areas and race days and sports events, serving burritos, tacos and burrito bowls.
Near Selmeston, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Your questions about Mexican street food in Selmeston
What’s the nearest station to Selmeston for guests?
Guests can use Berwick (Sussex) station, about 1 mile east of Selmeston.
Can you serve near the sea around Selmeston?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
