Mexican catering for your event in Aldrington
Mixed diets are easy to plan with Mexican street food. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish. It works well for wedding breakfasts and evening food and charity and school events, serving tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and burritos.
Around Aldrington, events are often in gardens, fields, local halls or nearby venues. If access is tight or the ground is soft, we will plan around it. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
Rain does not stop us serving from the truck or trailer, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added from our drinks bar, with licensing checked with you.
Prices and what affects them
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- The length of service
- Guest numbers
- Travel, parking and access
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- What you’d like on the menu
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- The venue or postcode
Send us the date, your venue or BN3 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, tell us about it on our contact page.

Should I do it myself?
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.
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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
Planners, venues and businesses
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.

Taco catering in Aldrington: local tips
Aldrington is about 1 mile south-west of Brighton and Hove, in Brighton and Hove. We cater events at homes, gardens and venues in Aldrington and the surrounding area. We cover all 30 towns and villages in Brighton and Hove, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
For a fête or sports day at a school such as Hove Junior School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking. If you are celebrating after a service at a church like St Philip's Church, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. Aldrington is within about 8 miles of the South Downs National Park, with country venues and gardens that can suit a food truck. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about vehicles and catering, so check with yours. With the sea within about 3 miles, a beach-side event might appeal. Promenades and beaches usually need permission, and the truck or trailer has to park on firm ground, not sand.
We cover events in every part of BN3, BN41 and BN42. Local streets include Wish Road, Saxon Road and Roman Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park.

Aldrington questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Philip's Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Could you come to a seaside event near Aldrington?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
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.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
We plan carefully for diets and keep options separate, but we can’t promise a kitchen without traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us first.
