Mexican catering near Icklesham
Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Let us know about any other food at the event
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests help themselves while we keep it topped up.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas.
Mexican catering for your event in Icklesham
Food from a truck or trailer feels relaxed. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food. We serve quesadillas, fresh salsas and guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar, which works well for fundraisers and school events and wedding breakfasts and evening food.
In a small place like Icklesham, events are usually in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

How it compares
For food that feels relaxed but generous, tacos, burritos and nachos make a strong choice. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.

Common questions in Icklesham
We’re having a ceremony at The Parish Church of St Nicholas: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
How far is Icklesham from central London?
It is about 52 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will talk licensing through with you.
Can you set up at our venue?
We need level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so contact us early.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Occasions we cater for in Icklesham
