Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Send allergy details to us in writing

We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch, and guests are welcome to ask before ordering.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added from our drinks bar.
Mexican catering for your event in Birling
We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. We warm the tortillas as each order goes out. At family gatherings and christenings and weddings, day or evening, we can serve loaded nachos, tacos and burritos.
For a rural spot like Birling, fields and drives need a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- How many staff you need
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Parking and the route in

Questions from Birling
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Do you cater in villages like Birling?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
What space do you need?
We need level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water when you book.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
That depends on the event. As a guide, it’s around 50 to 400 guests; tell us your numbers and we’ll plan around them.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. Around midsummer it stays light in Birling until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
