The menu, item by item
Build-your-own taco bar
A taco bar is relaxed and sociable, and guests with different diets can choose what suits them.
Tacos
Soft tortillas, warmed and filled, finished with salsas and toppings. Fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms are agreed with you.
Planners, venues and businesses
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.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Who books Mexican catering in East Chiltington?

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Comparing your options
Cold buffets are easy, but the food sits out. Tacos and burritos are made to order and served hot. 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.
Why us?
- Catering across East Sussex, including East Chiltington
- A plan agreed before the day

- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- A picture of where we’d park

Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll make suggestions. When you are ready, use our quote form.
Step by step
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A December event in East Chiltington will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.
How to prepare
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Find out what power and water are available
Getting a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
