In a hamlet or village like Firle, our food truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain.

Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
We arrive in the agreed window and park where we have arranged. It helps if someone can meet us on arrival.
Our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added to the booking, with licensing checked with you.
How the day works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Evening events in Firle stay light until about 9:15pm at midsummer. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Give us a contact for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

Firle questions
Which station is closest to Firle?
Glynde station, about 1 mile north-west of the centre.
Could you come to a seaside event near Firle?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
