Mexican catering in Staplefield, served fresh
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 tell us your numbers. On the menu are fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and burrito bowls, which works well for school fairs and fundraisers and weddings and evening receptions.
In a rural place like Staplefield, 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. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

FAQs for Staplefield
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mark?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Staplefield close to London?
It’s about 32 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
How much will it cost?
We don’t publish set prices, because every event is different. Send your details and you will get a quote for your event.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you cater for big events?
It depends on the event. As a guide, it’s around 50 to 400 guests; tell us your numbers and we will take it from there.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
