Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so everything goes out hot.
Burrito bowls suit guests who’d rather skip the tortilla.
Mexican catering in Halnaker, from our truck or trailer
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish. It works well for engagement celebrations and weddings and evening receptions, serving quesadillas, fresh salsas and guacamole and burritos.
In a rural place like Halnaker, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Why book with us

- Served fresh from our truck or trailer

- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests

Taco catering in Halnaker: local tips
Halnaker is about 3 miles north-east of Chichester, in West Sussex. From the centre of Halnaker to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Halnaker is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. We cater right across the region, from Halnaker to Brighton (about 25 miles away).
By rail: Chichester station is about 3.8 miles away. Historic houses near Halnaker include Goodwood House (1.4 miles west) and West Dean House (4 miles north-west). Estates and historic houses tend to set their own rules for caterers, so find out what yours allows first. With the sea within about 6 miles, a beach-side event might appeal. Promenades and beaches typically need permission, and the truck or trailer has to park on firm ground, not sand.
Here we cover the PO18 postcode area. We can cater an event on streets such as The Street, Stame Road and Oakford Park. Close by, we cover events in Boxgrove (1 mile south), Waterbeach (1 mile west), Tangmere (1 mile south), Strettington (1 mile south-west) and Westerton (1 mile west). Further out, we also cater in Worthing (14 miles east), Bognor Regis (5 miles south), Chichester (3 miles south-west), Selsey (10 miles south), Littlehampton (9 miles south-east) and Emsworth (10 miles west).
A little further out are Chichester Centre (2.9 miles south-west) and The Chichester City Museum (3.4 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Levin Down.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
What Mexican catering costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Food, drinks or both
- The number of people
- The length of service
There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of where we’d park
- The date and time of the event
- The address or venue name
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Halnaker questions
Do you cater at coastal events near Halnaker?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Which station should guests use for Halnaker?
Chichester station, about 3.8 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, including West Sussex. See all areas.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
What food do you serve?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or black beans. Take a look at the sample menu.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Planning the serving area
We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
