Mexican street food for Upper Dicker events
About our Mexican street food in Upper Dicker
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. On the menu are tacos, quesadillas and vegan tacos, and it is a good fit for feeding crew and volunteers and village fêtes and summer fairs.
Rural events near Upper Dicker can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food truck is a big help. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

How it works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps. By late September, it is dark in Upper Dicker 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.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Mexican street food or something else?
One-dish stalls leave some visitors out. Our menu gives visitors choice. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
What you get with us
- We cover Upper Dicker and the whole of East Sussex
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Menus for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
