Mexican catering for your event in Hellingly
Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so nobody ends up with something they don’t want. At fairs and festivals and summer garden parties, we can serve burritos, quesadillas and tacos for your guests.
For a place the size of Hellingly, your own garden or drive is often the best venue: no venue hire, and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Let us know about the route to the house. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

What Mexican catering costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Serving staff
- Travel, parking and access
- Whether you need disposables
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- The address or venue name
- Expected numbers
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- The date and time of the event
Not sure what you need yet? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will make suggestions. To start, send a quick message through our quote form.
How it compares
A cold buffet is simple but tends to sit out for hours. Our food is served hot, one order at a time. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

Take a look at how we price or our guide to catering costs.
How it works
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We’re ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. In Hellingly, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- 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.
- Together we confirm where the truck or trailer will park, plus power and water.
- We arrive, set up and cook to order, with salsas and guacamole made fresh.
- After service, we clear away and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, tell us about it on our contact page.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if it is a good fit.

Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Include at least one vegan filling
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests build their own while we keep it topped up.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we will set out what we can do in your quote.
Common questions in Hellingly
Could you serve our guests after a service at Emmanuel?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
What’s on the menu?
Tacos, build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. Our sample menu has more detail.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
We bring our truck or trailer to your venue, cook to order and serve tacos, burritos and more from the hatch. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.
What are your prices?
Every event is quoted for individually, based on guest numbers, the menu, the venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
