Street food for events around Thakeham
Thakeham is about 8 miles north of Worthing, in West Sussex. From the centre of Thakeham to the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Thakeham is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we can bring Mexican street food. We cater right across the region, from Thakeham to Brighton (about 15 miles away).
For a public event, it helps to tell people that Pulborough station is about 4.1 miles away. For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as The Parish Church of St Mary, a taco truck adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. Shows and fairs in the South Downs National Park, about 6 miles from Thakeham at most, sometimes have rules on where traders can drive. Send us the site plan and we will plan around it.
Wherever your event is in RH20, we can bring Mexican street food to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes.

What Mexican street food costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- How many staff you need
- Whether you need disposables
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we will adjust where we can. By late September, it’s dark in Thakeham at around 7:05pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.

Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
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.
