Mexican catering for your event in East Harting
Planning taco catering for an event in East Harting? Food from a truck or trailer feels relaxed. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food. At family gatherings and christenings and fundraisers and school events, we’ll put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and burritos for your guests.
In a rural place like East Harting, 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. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

FAQs for East Harting
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
We are having a ceremony at The Parish Church of St Mary & St Gabriel: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up, serve your guests and clear away when service ends.
Can you cater for special diets?
Diets are planned in advance, with options kept separate, though we cannot guarantee a kitchen with no trace of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us first.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.

If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Harting CofE Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser.
