About our Mexican catering in Lower Dicker
We plan each menu with the client, so fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. It works well for school fairs and fundraisers and staff parties and office lunches, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and loaded nachos.
In a small place like Lower Dicker, events are typically in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

Lower Dicker questions
Could you serve our guests after a service at Zoar Strict Baptist Chapel?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
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.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. We offer dairy-free options, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
