Questions from Iford
Will you travel to a small place like Iford?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Which station is closest to Iford?
Guests can use Lewes station, about 1.7 miles north-east of Iford.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
How much does Mexican catering cost in Iford?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain does not typically stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
About our Mexican catering in Iford
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so let us know how many you expect. We serve tacos, quesadillas and burrito bowls, and it is a good fit for charity and school events and festivals, fairs and markets.
In a small place like Iford, events are generally 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. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- Space for guests to queue
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

- What’s on the menu
Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- What you’d like on the menu
- Where the event is
- The date and rough timings
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send you a clear quote and a suggested menu.
Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
The menu, item by item
Salsas and guacamole
The salsas and guacamole finish every plate, and guests add as much as they like.
Loaded nachos
Nachos are easy sharing food. We can plan a dairy-free version.
Working with your venue
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so it is hot when it reaches them.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added from our drinks bar, with licensing checked with you.
