The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Mexican catering in Chailey, served fresh
We bring our truck or trailer to events in and around Chailey: private gardens, venue grounds, courtyards and fields. At garden get-togethers and anniversaries and engagements, we can serve quesadillas, burrito bowls and loaded nachos.
Somewhere as small as Chailey, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

Mexican catering around Chailey
Chailey is about 5 miles south-east of Haywards Heath, in East Sussex. For an event in Chailey, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards in and around Chailey. Chailey is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex we cover. We cater right across the region, from Chailey to Brighton (about 10 miles away).
If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Chailey St Peter's Church of England Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. Guests leaving a church like The Parish Church of St Peter after a christening could walk over to a nearby garden where the tacos are ready. With the South Downs National Park about 6 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Chailey. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
