Step by step
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A picture of the space helps. In Chipstead, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.

How we price Mexican catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many guests we’re serving
- What the venue already provides
- Staff for serving and the bar
- How long we’re needed on site
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

About the menu
Tacos
Tacos are the classic street food of Mexico. We serve them with salsas and toppings, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Build-your-own taco bar
Fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings laid out for guests to help themselves, with warm tortillas to fill. Everyone builds their own.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests build their own while we keep it topped up.
Add our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.

That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
