About our Mexican catering in Upper Dicker
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so tell us your numbers. It works well for summer garden parties and birthday parties, serving burritos, quesadillas and loaded nachos.
In a small place like Upper Dicker, events are normally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning.

What Mexican catering costs
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Serving staff

Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The venue or postcode
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. For a quote, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Give us separate numbers for children
We work around your timings, and adapt if they move.
Quesadillas go down well with children.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
FAQs for Upper Dicker
Will you travel to a small place like Upper Dicker?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.
How much does Mexican catering cost?
There is no fixed price list, as each event is different. Send your details and you will get a quote for your event.
Do you do a drinks bar?
Our drinks bar can be added to any booking, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We’ll go through the licensing with you before the day.
Can you cater for special diets?
Diets are planned in advance, with options kept separate, though we can’t guarantee a kitchen with no trace of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us first.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t generally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
