Mexican catering for your event in Chiltington
Planning taco catering for an event in Chiltington? Food from a truck or trailer feels relaxed. Guests come up to the hatch, chat while they wait and take something hot back to their seats, which suits informal events. For festivals, fairs and markets and staff parties and office lunches, we can serve burrito bowls, loaded nachos and a build-your-own taco bar and more.
In a hamlet or village like Chiltington, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Planning help
Chiltington: your questions answered
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Could you serve our guests after a service at The Parish Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will suggest mild options.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Do you do a drinks bar?
Our drinks bar can be added to any booking, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we will check that with you.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or black beans. Take a look at the sample menu.
What Mexican catering costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- The number of people
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- How long we’re needed on site
- How many staff you need
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The address or venue name
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Your menu ideas
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. To get started, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Who books Mexican catering in Chiltington?
There is no kitchen needed at the venue, so it works in gardens, fields and grounds without catering facilities.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Garden parties
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
- Office lunches and team days
- Christenings and family parties
For a fête or sports day at a school such as Chailey School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking.
Before you book anyone
- Plates and napkins, or nothing at all
- VAT, if it applies
- How many staff are serving, and for how long
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
A closer look at the menu
Burritos and burrito bowls
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings rolled in a large tortilla, or the same served in a bowl.
Tacos
Tacos are the classic street food of Mexico. We serve them with salsas and toppings.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Count children separately
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
Rain does not stop us serving from the truck or trailer, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.
