Wedding Mexican catering near East Dean
Getting married in East Dean?
East Dean is about 4 miles south-west of Eastbourne, in East Sussex. Tell us where your wedding in East Dean will be, and we will plan access and set-up.

Some couples near East Dean might slip away to Combe Hill for a few photos between the ceremony and the meal. Couples who choose a church such as The Parish Church of St Simon and St Jude for the ceremony often pick a reception spot a short drive away. We can set up while the photos are taken. A rural reception could be within reach, as the South Downs National Park is no more than about 4 miles from East Dean. Firm ground and a clear way in matter more than the view for a food truck. Couples near the coast, within about 4 miles of East Dean, sometimes want a beach feel. We need firm ground for the truck or trailer, so a clifftop lawn or venue car park may suit better than the sand.
This part of East Sussex takes in BN20, and we can cater your wedding anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Local streets include Lower Street, Went Way and Gilberts Drive; for a wedding at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park.

Wedding Mexican catering in East Dean, served fresh
A food truck or trailer suits barns, marquees, gardens and venues with hardstanding, as long as we can drive in safely and park on level ground. It suits late-evening wedding food and rustic barn weddings, serving fresh guacamole and salsas, loaded nachos and quesadillas.
Near East Dean, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a food truck comes into its own: no venue kitchen needed, just level, firm ground and a way in. Let us know about access, ground, power and water. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

What happens on the day
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue.

Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

Your questions about wedding Mexican catering in East Dean
Could you serve our guests after a service at The Parish Church of St Simon and St Jude?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you come out to small places like East Dean?
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.
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.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Is Mexican street food too casual for a wedding?
Served well, it feels generous and special.
Wedding Mexican catering or something else?
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. We bring our kitchen with us, and the style is more relaxed. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.
