Almost any gathering can work with a truck or trailer. People in Saltdean can book us for occasions like:

When the service is at a church such as St Nicholas, the food normally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck.

How our Mexican catering works in Saltdean
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. It suits fundraisers and school events and weddings and evening receptions, with burritos, burrito bowls and a build-your-own taco bar.
There may be a hall or club near Saltdean if your garden is small; any can work, given permission and level ground to park on. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Saltdean questions
Is Saltdean close to London?
It is about 48 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you cater at coastal events near Saltdean?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
What if it rains?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, though guests need a covered place to eat.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
We bring our truck or trailer to your venue, cook to order and serve tacos, burritos and more from the hatch. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.
How much does Mexican catering cost?
We quote for each event, based on guest numbers, the menu, the venue and timings. For a price, send a quick message through our quote form.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Can you cater for special diets?
Yes. We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
Step by step
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps. Evenings in Saltdean stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm. For anything running past sunset, think about lights near the hatch.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
Preparing for the day

What’s on the menu
Tacos
Street tacos are small, quick and full of flavour. They come with fresh salsas and toppings.
Salsas and guacamole
Every taco needs salsa and guacamole, and guests add as much as they like.
Mexican catering or something else?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.
Why book with us
- Allergen information for every dish
- Menus chosen with you
- Events in Saltdean and across Brighton and Hove
- Quoted for your event
Take a look at how we price and the cost guide.
Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Before you choose a spot
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
