How our wedding Mexican catering works in Rottingdean
A Mexican menu makes mixed diets easier: there are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, corn tortillas for gluten-free guests and allergen information for every dish. At food for evening guests and sharing-style wedding meals, we will put together a menu of loaded nachos, burrito bowls and a taco bar for the wedding breakfast.
A wedding in a small place like Rottingdean often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a food truck comes into its own: no kitchen, just firm ground and access. Let us know about access, ground, power and water. You will know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Will you travel to a small place like Rottingdean?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.

How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a quote.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Food, drinks or both
- The menu you choose
- Serving staff
- Guest numbers
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- A picture of where we’d park
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- The address or venue name
- What you’d like on the menu
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Send us the running order and speech times
- Ask whether your venue allows food trucks
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
If things run late, and we’ll move the serving time.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff, and we will confirm what’s possible with your quote.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run behind, let us know and we will adjust where we can. For a summer wedding in Rottingdean, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening food is usually served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the wedding breakfast, evening food or both with you.
- We agree timings and access with the venue.
- We serve at the agreed points in the day.
- We pack down and leave our area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
Ask for a quote
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- A serving point within easy walk of the reception
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Planning a taco wedding in Rottingdean
Rottingdean is about 3 miles west of Telscombe, in Brighton and Hove. From the centre of Rottingdean to the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We cover all 30 towns and villages across Brighton and Hove, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
With a ceremony at a church such as St Wulfran's Church, the simplest plan is a reception close by, so guests are not travelling far before they eat. Service can start as guests arrive. It helps to add rail details to the invitations, as the nearest station is Moulsecoomb station, about 3.2 miles north-west. The South Downs National Park is within about 6 miles of Rottingdean, with rural settings that could suit a wedding. Ask your venue about vehicle access and ground conditions for a truck or trailer. With the coast within about 4 miles, a seaside-style wedding is an option. Coastal wind, sand and seafront access all need planning for a truck or trailer.
For wedding Mexican catering in BN2, we plan around your venue and the route in. Local streets include Longhill Road, New Barn Road and Court Ord Road; for a wedding at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. If your venue is just outside Rottingdean, we also cover Ovingdean (1 mile west), Roedean (1 mile west), Saltdean (1 mile south-east), East Saltdean (2 miles south-east) and Telscombe (3 miles east). Further out, we also cater in Brighton (3 miles north-west), Brighton and Hove (6 miles west), Hove (5 miles west), Carlton Hill (3 miles west), Hanover (3 miles west) and West Hill (4 miles west).
Nearby you’ll also find Churchill Square (3.6 miles west) and French Convalescent Home (1.9 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Beacon Hill Local Nature Reserve and Newmarket Hill.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
