Can I do a taco night myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
How we price Mexican catering
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- What the venue already provides
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- The number of people
- Travel, parking and access
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- What power and water the site has
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- How we drive in and where we can park
Send us the date, your venue or RH19 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just drop us a line using the enquiry form.

Guests arriving by train will find that East Grinstead station is about 3.6 miles away.

The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. A December event in Sharpthorne will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- You get a suggested menu, with fillings agreed with you, and a quote.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our food truck or trailer.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
