How our Mexican catering works in Bighton
We plan each menu with the client, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. For school fairs and fundraisers and staff parties and office lunches, we’ll put together a menu of burrito bowls, burritos and a build-your-own taco bar for your guests.
Somewhere like Bighton, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. From late May to late September, sunset in Bighton moves from about 8:55pm to 7:10pm. If your event carries on later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and arrangements.
- We serve hot food from our truck or trailer at the agreed time.
- When you are done, we pack away.
Getting ready for the day

- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Bighton questions
Is Bighton close to London?
About 52 miles from central London.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of All Saints?
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.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, including Hampshire. Find your area.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service typically suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
What if it rains?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, though guests need a covered place to eat.

Why choose Mexican catering in Bighton?
