About our Mexican catering in Cross in Hand
Mixed diets are easy to plan with Mexican street food. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. For fundraisers and school events and garden parties, we can serve quesadillas, burrito bowls and loaded nachos.
In a rural place like Cross in Hand, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

What else we do in Cross in Hand
Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Include at least one vegan filling
Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so it’s hot when it reaches them.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
Comparing your options
Sit-down meals need a kitchen, tables and more staff. Our truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, and needs a suitable spot, safe access and the venue’s agreement. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- Book food, drinks or both
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- Events in Cross in Hand and across East Sussex

Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.

We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
