Mexican street food in Wannock
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
How our Mexican street food works in Wannock
One Mexican trader covers several diets: there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas. That helps organisers balance the line-up. We serve quesadillas, burritos and loaded nachos, and it suits open days and community events and village fairs.
For a village fête or field event near Wannock, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.

Wannock events: pitches and permissions
Wannock is about 3 miles north-west of Eastbourne, in East Sussex. Wherever your event is in the BN26 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you, as long as there is access. We serve in all 289 towns and villages across East Sussex, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Wannock to Brighton (16 miles away).
For a public event, it helps to tell people that Polegate station is about 0.8 miles away. Organisers of a summer fête for a church such as St Wilfrid could add tacos and burritos alongside the bric-a-brac. Organisers near the South Downs National Park, within about 4 miles of Wannock, may face extra conditions on traffic, ground protection and waste. We work to whatever the site sets. The coast is within about 4 miles of Wannock, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch, on firm ground rather than sand.
Anywhere in BN26, we can bring Mexican street food to you. From Wannock Road, Lancing Way and Mortimer Gardens or anywhere nearby, we will plan where to park and serve. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Lower Willingdon (1 mile south-east), Filching (1 mile south-west), Polegate (1 mile north-east), Folkington (1 mile west) and Willingdon (1 mile south-east).

Wannock: your questions answered
Do you come to events in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Do you come to school fairs around Wannock?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
We can. Crew, volunteer and hospitality catering is available, with or without a public stall.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not usually stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
