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.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Mexican catering in Poling, from our food truck or trailer
We plan each menu with the client, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. Popular choices include quesadillas, burrito bowls and a build-your-own taco bar, and it suits garden get-togethers and charity and school events.
In a rural place like Poling, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
With a barbecue, someone typically ends up stuck at the grill. Book us and the cooking happens in our truck or trailer. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.

Questions from Poling
Which station should guests use for Poling?
The closest is Arundel station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
What are your prices?
We do not publish set prices, because every event is different. Send your details and you will get a quote for your event.
Do you cater for big events?
It depends on the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, but tell us your numbers and we will plan around them.
Can you cater for special diets?
Yes. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. We give allergen information for every dish.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
What if it rains?
We can still serve in the rain. Have somewhere covered ready for guests.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
How the day works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Evenings in Poling stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm. Festoon lights or floodlights help once it gets dark.

- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We confirm the way in and where we will park.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
