How our Mexican catering works in Barcombe
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. It suits summer garden parties and christenings and family parties, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and burrito bowls.
In a small place like Barcombe, events are usually in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Planning the serving area
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- Space for guests to queue
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
On the menu in Barcombe
- Build-your-own taco bar
- Burritos
- Loaded nachos
- Tacos
- Quesadillas

Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start or as a late snack.
