How we price Mexican catering
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- What’s on the menu
- Food, drinks or both
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- What power and water the site has
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Your menu ideas
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. Just tell us about it on our contact page.

Occasions we cater for in Polegate
The truck or trailer becomes a focal point, and people drift over as soon as service starts.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:
- Company summer parties
- Birthday parties
- Fundraisers and school events
- Markets and community events
When the service is at a church such as St John's Church of England Church, the food generally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck.

How the day works
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. A December event in Polegate will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- You get a suggested menu, with fillings agreed with you, and a quote.
- Together we confirm where the truck or trailer will park, plus power and water.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- After service, we clear away and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
About the menu
Build-your-own taco bar
Fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings laid out for guests to help themselves, with tortillas kept warm. Each guest makes tacos their way.
Burritos and burrito bowls
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings rolled in a large tortilla, or served as a bowl instead.
