Mexican street food in Waterhall, from our truck or trailer
For festivals, numbers can be larger than most of our events, so tell us expected visitor numbers and trading hours and we’ll plan around them. It works well for seasonal and night markets and county and country shows, with vegan tacos, tacos and loaded nachos.
Rural events near Waterhall can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food truck is a big help. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Common questions in Waterhall
Could you come to a seaside event near Waterhall?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Will you travel to a small place like Waterhall?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
Do you cater in Waterhall?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Waterhall and across Brighton and Hove. Tell us your date and we will check availability.

Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
About the menu
Burritos
A big tortilla wrapped round rice, beans, a filling and toppings.
Burrito bowls
A bowl version of the burrito.
Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
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.
What affects the price in Waterhall
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- The length of service
- What the venue already provides
- Food, drinks or both
- Distance and access to the venue
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.

- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- What power and water the site has
- The date and time of the event
- What you’d like on the menu
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our food truck or trailer, and get on with serving. Christmas markets in Waterhall trade in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we are ready before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Tell us what power and water the site has
