Mexican catering near Shermanbury
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Mention any other caterers or courses
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests build their own while we keep it topped up.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.
About our Mexican catering in Shermanbury
We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. We warm the tortillas as each order goes out. It works well for anniversaries and engagements and big birthday celebrations, serving burrito bowls, fresh salsas and guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar.
Somewhere like Shermanbury, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Common questions in Shermanbury
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Parish Church of St Giles?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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 will check the access.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
Can you serve drinks as well?
You can add our drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We’ll talk licensing through with you before the day.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
What space do you need?
Send us details of the venue and the access, and we’ll check it works. Space for a queue and, if you choose one, a taco-bar table helps too.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we will suggest the best set-up.
What happens on the day
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event.
