Mexican catering for your event in Brightling
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 we give allergen information for every dish. It works well for anniversaries and engagements and staff parties and office lunches, serving tacos, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a rural place like Brightling, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Questions from Brightling
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Parish Church of St Thomas A Becket?
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 Brightling?
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?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so contact us early.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
What are your prices?
We quote for each event, depending on numbers, menu, venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
If timings change on the day, tell us and we’ll adjust.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters, because they’re simple.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Why choose Mexican catering in Brightling?
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, because fillings and toppings are kept separate. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Why us?
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- A plan agreed before the day
- A menu agreed with you
- Fast service, even with a queue

About the menu
Burritos and burrito bowls
Burritos are filling and easy to eat on the move. Bowls suit guests who want to skip the tortilla.
Build-your-own taco bar
A taco bar is relaxed and sociable, and guests with different diets can choose what suits them.
How the day works
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. In Brightling, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the timings for the day

Planning help
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
