Event catering near Whitehawk
Whitehawk is about 1 mile south-east of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. Events in Whitehawk are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. Whitehawk is one of 30 places in Brighton and Hove we cover.
For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as St Cuthman's, a taco truck adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. A market or festival in Whitehawk Hill would be licensed by whoever manages the park, and we’ll provide our part of the paperwork. Within about 7 miles is the South Downs National Park, where events may have extra rules on vehicles and waste; we will follow the site’s requirements. Within about 2 miles of the sea, coastal events bring wind and sand into the plan. A firm, sheltered pitch suits a truck or trailer best.
Anywhere in BN2, we can bring Mexican street food to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Your event could be at a home on Peel Road, Manor Road and Craven Road or the roads around them.

Organising for someone else?
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Give traders a single information pack
- Check how traders handle peak times
- Agree when vehicles can move on site
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
On the day, we work with your site team on any changes.
Nachos for groups.
The process
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Evening events in Whitehawk have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer; beyond that, ask the organiser how the site will be lit.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Ask the venue about power and water
