About our Mexican catering in Etchingham

How we price Mexican catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- The number of people
- What’s on the menu
- Timings and hours
- What the venue already provides
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- What power and water the site has
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

What’s on the menu

Tortillas filled with melted cheese and a filling, toasted until crisp.
Questions from Etchingham
Do you come to events in the High Weald National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Parish Church of St Nicholas and St Mary?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
Can you cater for special diets?
Yes. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. We give allergen information for every dish.
Do you serve in the rain?
We can still serve in the rain. Have somewhere covered ready for guests.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
What space do you need?
Tell us about the venue and the way in, and we will confirm what we need. Space for a queue and, if you choose one, a taco-bar table helps too.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Tell us what other food is being served
If timings change on the day, tell us and we’ll adjust.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we’ll confirm what’s possible with your quote.
