How our Mexican catering works in Groombridge
The menu starts with tacos: warm tortillas with your choice of fillings, plus fresh salsas, guacamole and toppings. Burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas can sit alongside them. We serve a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas, and it suits anniversaries and engagements and birthday parties.
In a rural place like Groombridge, access is the main thing to plan: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.
Groombridge questions
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Thomas the Apostle: 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. Tell us where the reception will be.
Which station is closest to Groombridge?
Guests can use Eridge station, about 1.8 miles south-east of Groombridge.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run 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’ll go through the licensing with you.
Do you cover Groombridge?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Groombridge is within our area. To check your date, send a quick message through our quote form.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
That depends on the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, but tell us your numbers and we will take it from there.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Send us a picture of the access and the space, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Planning the serving area
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. Evenings in Groombridge stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm. For anything running past sunset, think about lights near the hatch.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

What affects the price in Groombridge
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Serving staff
- The length of service
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
On the day, we arrive in good time to park up and get ready. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
