What’s on the menu
Salsas and guacamole
Every taco needs salsa and guacamole.
Loaded nachos
Nachos are easy sharing food. Dairy-free versions can be planned.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

How the day works
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. In Bevendean, 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. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- Together we confirm where the truck or trailer will park, plus power and water.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Find out what power and water are available

Mexican catering or something else?
Sit-down meals need a kitchen, tables and more staff. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, and needs a suitable spot, safe access and the venue’s agreement. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Bevendean: your questions answered
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you serve near the sea around Bevendean?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not generally stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you serve drinks as well?
We can. Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Licensing is checked with you first.
