About our Mexican catering in Hadlow Down
Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so each plate is exactly how they like it. It works well for festivals, fairs and markets and fundraisers and school events, with burritos, loaded nachos and a build-your-own taco bar.
Somewhere like Hadlow Down, a field or garden is often the setting. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Mexican catering around Hadlow Down
Hadlow Down is about 4 miles south of Crowborough, in East Sussex. Events in Hadlow Down are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. Hadlow Down is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex where we can bring Mexican catering. We cater right across the region, from Hadlow Down to Brighton (18 miles away).
If you are celebrating after a service at a church like St Mark's Church, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like St Mark's Church of England Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. Venues in and around the High Weald National Landscape, within about 4 miles of Hadlow Down, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before you book.
We serve at events all over the TN22 postcode area and the streets around it. Local streets include Waghorns Lane, School Lane and St Marks Field; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Put any allergies in writing for us
We work around your timings, and adapt if they move.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff and we will confirm what’s possible with your quote.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Popular choices
Quesadillas
Quesadillas are simple and comforting, and they go down well with children.
Burritos and burrito bowls
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings rolled in a large tortilla, or the same served in a bowl.
Common questions in Hadlow Down
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.
