Mexican catering for your event in Burlow
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. It works well for markets and community events and christenings and family parties, serving burrito bowls, burritos and quesadillas.
In a hamlet or village like Burlow, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
- Put any allergies in writing for us
If timings change on the day, tell us and we’ll adjust.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter.
Should I do it myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Mexican catering or something else?
Cold buffets are easy, but the food sits out. Tacos and burritos are made to order and served hot. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- A menu built around your guests
- Catering across East Sussex, including Burlow

Planning a food truck in Burlow
Burlow is about 4 miles north of Hailsham, in East Sussex. Give us the address of your event in Burlow, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up before the day. Burlow is one of 289 places in East Sussex where we can bring Mexican catering. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 17 miles away.
When the service is at a church such as Christ Church, the food typically happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. With the High Weald National Landscape about 7 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Burlow. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.
We cover events in every part of TN21 and the streets around it. Your event could be at a home on Chiddingly Road and The Hedgerows.

Common questions in Burlow
Do you cater in villages like Burlow?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you set up at our venue?
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.
How much will it cost?
There is no fixed price list, as each event is different. Send your details and you will get a quote for your event.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.

How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain does not generally stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. Planning an evening event in Burlow? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. For anything running past sunset, think about lights near the hatch.
