About our Mexican catering in Ashurst
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish. It works well for leaving parties and garden get-togethers, serving tacos, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
For a rural spot like Ashurst, fields and drives need a little planning: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. You will know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Evenings in Ashurst stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm. Festoon lights or floodlights help once it gets dark.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Find out what power and water are available
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
Ask for a quote
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send you a clear quote.

A burrito is a meal in one. Bowls suit guests who want to skip the tortilla.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Where the truck can go in Ashurst

- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer

Your questions about Mexican catering in Ashurst
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Martin of Tours?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
How does your Mexican catering work?
We park our food truck or trailer at your venue and serve hot Mexican street food from it. You can also have a build-your-own taco bar.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
Diets are planned in advance, with options kept separate, but we cannot promise a kitchen without traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us first.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we will suggest the best set-up.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service typically suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
