Mexican catering for your event in Lewes
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. On the menu are loaded nachos, quesadillas and tacos, and it suits engagement and anniversary parties and office lunches and team days.
In Lewes, an event with a food truck generally means a garden with drive access, a hall or club with a car park, or a hired venue. Each can work, as long as the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

Planning for every diet
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests help themselves.
Quesadillas go down well with children.

Questions from Lewes
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St John sub Castro?
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.
What’s the nearest station to Lewes for guests?
The closest is Lewes station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will check the licensing with you and your venue.
What if it rains?
We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, though guests need a covered place to eat.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Comparing your options
With a barbecue, someone typically ends up stuck at the grill. With us, the cooking happens in our food truck or trailer. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. In Lewes, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
Getting a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
