Your questions about Mexican catering in Forest Row
Do you come to events in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Forest Row?
The closest is East Grinstead station, roughly 3.2 miles away.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will go through the licensing with you.

We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.

It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
We arrive early enough to set up calmly. Someone from the venue just needs to point us to the agreed spot.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff and we will set out what we can do in your quote.
How we price Mexican catering
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- The length of service
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Travel, parking and access
- Whether you need disposables
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help

The process
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule.

- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- 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.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Before we arrive
