Mexican catering across BN20
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. It suits weddings and evening receptions and milestone birthdays, serving burrito bowls, tacos and quesadillas.
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.
Cost
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Why book with us
- Service planned around your numbers
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- Everything served fresh from the hatch

Catering events across BN20
From Eastbourne, Old Town and Upperton to 3 villages and hamlets, events across BN20 range from town-centre venues to gardens and fields, and a food truck or trailer can work in all of them, given access. Town events mean planning parking; village events mean planning access and ground. Around 11 places in BN20 are close to the coast, so we often plan around the wind at coastal events, and seafront spots need permission and firm ground for the truck or trailer.
Lower Willingdon: Around Lower Willingdon, historic houses include Alfriston Clergy House (4 miles west) and Michelham Priory (4 miles north-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and vehicles early. When the service is at a church such as St Wilfrid, the food normally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. Winter evenings in Lower Willingdon close in by about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.
For event organisers in BN20
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Who books Mexican catering?
Every order goes out hot, instead of waiting on a buffet.
A truck or trailer suits almost any gathering. People in BN20 can book us for events such as:
- Company summer parties
- Engagement celebrations
- Family gatherings and christenings
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Count children separately
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests build their own.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start.
Is Mexican catering right for you?
If you want food that feels relaxed without being basic, tacos, burritos and nachos make a strong choice for your event in BN20.
What your quote should include
- Who provides plates and napkins
- Travel and parking costs
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- The deadline for final numbers
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Questions from BN20
How many guests can you cater for?
That depends on the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, but tell us your numbers and we will plan around them.
How much will it cost?
There’s no fixed price list, as each event is different. Tell us your numbers and plans and we’ll send a quote for your event.
Do you do a drinks bar?
We can. The drinks bar offers margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free drinks. We’ll talk licensing through with you.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
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). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What food do you serve?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or black beans. The sample menu shows the options.

- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
