How our Mexican catering works in West Tisted
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too, with licensing checked with you. For leaving parties and milestone birthdays, we can serve quesadillas, tacos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a hamlet or village like West Tisted, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The number of people
- Serving staff
- What’s on the menu
- What the venue already provides

What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the event is
- The date and rough timings
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- What power and water the site has
The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we will suggest a menu to suit.
The process
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. A December event in West Tisted will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We confirm the way in and where we will park.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, because fillings and toppings are kept separate. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Salsas and guacamole
Every taco needs salsa and guacamole.
Tacos
Tacos are the classic street food of Mexico. They come with fresh salsas and toppings.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

- The wet-weather plan
- What the price includes, item by item
- Payment terms and deposit
- How each diet is kept separate
Catering for every guest
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests build their own.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas.
Should I do it myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
West Tisted: your questions answered
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mary Magdalene: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not 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.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
How spicy is the food?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us about the venue and the way in, and we will check it works. Space for a queue and, if you choose one, a taco-bar table helps too.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
