About our Mexican catering in Waterhall
Taco catering in Waterhall is what we do best. Our food truck or trailer travels to events across Waterhall and nearby: private gardens, venue grounds, courtyards and fields. Popular choices include loaded nachos, burritos and quesadillas, and it is a good fit for charity and school events and retirement and leaving parties.
Somewhere as small as Waterhall, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Who books Mexican catering in Waterhall?

These are some of the occasions we serve in Waterhall and Brighton and Hove:

- Summer garden parties
If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like All Saints Church, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal.
Questions to ask before booking
- The deposit and payment dates
- VAT, if it applies
- Where to see their hygiene rating
- Space, access, power and water needs
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Before you choose a spot
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Space for guests to queue
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Waterhall: your questions answered
Could you serve in Withdean Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Will you travel to a small place like Waterhall?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, for instance a supply from the venue, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
What if it rains?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, though guests need a covered place to eat.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Can you serve drinks as well?
Yes. The drinks bar offers margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free drinks. We’ll talk licensing through with you.
What does Mexican catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Comparing your options
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. Our truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Every guest catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included

The menu, item by item
Loaded nachos
Crisp tortilla chips loaded with toppings, salsa and guacamole.
Burritos and burrito bowls
A big flour tortilla wrapped round rice, beans, a filling and toppings, or the same served in a bowl.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Give us separate numbers for children
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests build their own.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start.
