Mexican catering across Brighton and Hove

Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. Guests come up to the hatch, chat while they wait and take something hot back to their seats. It suits summer garden parties and anniversaries and engagements, serving a build-your-own taco bar, burritos and quesadillas.

We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens.

  1. It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
  2. We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
  3. Together we confirm where the truck or trailer will park, plus power and water.
  4. On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our truck or trailer.
  5. After service, we clear away and leave the spot tidy.

Planning a food truck in Brighton and Hove

From Brighton, Hove and Carlton Hill to 6 villages and hamlets, events across Brighton and Hove range from town-centre venues to gardens and fields, and a truck or trailer suits most settings with access and level ground. In towns, plan parking and loading; in villages, tell us about lanes, gates and ground. Around 30 places in Brighton and Hove 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.

Brighton: When the service is at a church such as St Martin's Church, the food typically happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. Close to Brighton are historic houses such as Royal Pavilion (0.8 miles south-west) and Preston Manor & Gardens (1.1 miles north-west). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before you book one. In Brighton, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.

Why street food works

You do not need a kitchen, so gardens, fields and outdoor venues are all possible.

A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Common bookings include:

  • Milestone birthdays
  • Charity and school events
  • Engagement and anniversary parties
  • Christenings and family parties

DIY taco night versus a caterer

Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.

Organising for someone else?

Organising a club, school or community event in Brighton and Hove? 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 will suggest a plan.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Before you choose a spot

No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:

  • A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
  • A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours

Questions from Brighton and Hove

What space do you need?

We need level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water when you book.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.

How long do you serve for?

It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.

Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?

We can. We offer dairy-free options, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.

Is there a minimum number of guests?

Our truck and trailer service typically suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.

Do you have vegan options?

Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.

Do you provide plates and napkins?

That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
