Mexican catering in Rottingdean, from our truck or trailer
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too, with licensing checked with you. For milestone birthdays and staff parties and office lunches, we’ll put together a menu of quesadillas, fresh salsas and guacamole and burritos and more.
In a hamlet or village like Rottingdean, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. You will know what’s included before you book: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
