Mexican catering in Piddinghoe, from our truck or trailer
Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so let us know how many you expect. On the menu are a build-your-own taco bar, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole, which works well for garden get-togethers and engagement and anniversary parties.
In a small place like Piddinghoe, 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 soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Events we cater in Piddinghoe
Guests enjoy building their own plate, and a taco bar soon becomes a talking point while they queue.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Common bookings include:

When the service is at a church such as The Parish Church of St John, the food normally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck.

What Mexican catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Serving staff
- Parking and the route in
- The length of service
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.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- The date and rough timings
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you are ready, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
