Planning help
For event organisers in Ovingdean
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Organising a club, school or community event in Ovingdean? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Why choose wedding Mexican catering in Ovingdean?
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian and vegan guests. Tacos cover them with separate fillings. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
