Why choose Mexican street food in Southwick?
A single pizza or burger stall cannot cover every visitor. Tacos, burritos, bowls and nachos give choice. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we offer in Southwick
- Menus for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests

Organising for someone else?
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
How the day works
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. At midsummer, events in Southwick stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- On the day, we are ready before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.

Southwick: your questions answered
Can you trade at a school fair in Southwick?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
What’s the nearest station to Southwick for guests?
Guests can use Portchester station, about 1.9 miles south of Southwick.
Can you serve alcohol at our event?
It depends on the event’s licence. Tell us whether the event has a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, and we will go from there.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How much does Mexican street food cost in Southwick?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
Do you cover Southwick?
We do. Southwick is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What affects the price in Southwick
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Whether you need disposables
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- How many guests we are serving
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- What you’d like on the menu
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Roughly how many adults and children
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we will suggest a menu. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
What’s on the menu
Tacos
Warm tortillas with a filling, salsa and toppings, quick to serve.
Burrito bowls
Easy to eat with a fork.
Should I do it myself?
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’ll do the serving.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
