Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

Mexican catering in Charlwood, served fresh
Our food truck or trailer travels to events across Charlwood and nearby: gardens, fields, yards and venues with hardstanding, as long as there is safe access. For milestone birthdays and summer garden parties, we can serve burritos, tacos and burrito bowls and more.
In a rural place like Charlwood, access is the main thing to plan: 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. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
What happens on the day
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. From late May to late September, sunset in Charlwood moves from about 8:55pm to 7:10pm. Let us know if service will run after dark, and we will talk about lighting.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and how many.
- We come back with menu ideas and a quote.
- Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.

Charlwood questions
Will you travel to a small place like Charlwood?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How much will it cost?
We quote for each event, depending on numbers, menu, venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we will talk licensing through with you and your venue.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many guests we are serving
- How long we are needed on site
- What’s on the menu
- Food, drinks or both
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many adults and children
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field

Who books Mexican catering in Charlwood?
A food truck gives guests somewhere to gather, and the smell of warm tortillas brings people over.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Typical bookings include:
- Leaving dos and retirement parties
- Anniversaries and engagements
- Markets and community events
- Charity and school events
Close to Charlwood are historic houses such as Bentworth Hall (4.8 miles north). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before booking one.
Questions to ask before booking
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
- The deadline for final numbers
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- VAT, if it applies
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
What we need at the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- Permission from the venue or landowner
