Mexican catering for your event in West Dean
Every menu is agreed with you, so fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. It suits christenings and family parties and anniversaries and engagements, with a build-your-own taco bar, tacos and loaded nachos.
For a rural spot like West Dean, fields and drives need a little planning: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Working with your venue
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Comparing your options
Platters dropped off in the morning are easy but forgettable. Live service from a truck or trailer gives guests hot food and something to talk about. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
What we offer in West Dean

Common questions in West Dean
Do you cater in villages like West Dean?
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.
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Parish Church of St Andrew?
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’ll check the access.
Are plates and napkins included?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
Do you cater in West Dean?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and West Dean is within our area and the rest of West Sussex. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up, serve your guests and clear away when service ends.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will check the licensing with you.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Events we cater in West Dean
You do not need a kitchen, so it works in gardens, fields and grounds without catering facilities.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Big birthday celebrations
- Garden get-togethers
- School fairs and fundraisers
- Leaving dos and retirement parties
If you are celebrating after a service at a church like The Parish Church of St Andrew, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal.
