About the menu

Mexican catering in Whatlington, served fresh
We plan each menu with the client, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. On the menu are burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas, and it suits christenings and family parties and school fairs and fundraisers.
In a rural place like Whatlington, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

FAQs for Whatlington
Which station is closest to Whatlington?
Guests can use Battle station, about 1.9 miles south of Whatlington.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
How spicy is the food?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Do you do a drinks bar?
You can add our drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we will check that with you.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Where do you cater?

Other catering in Whatlington
Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
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.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so it’s hot when it reaches them.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we’ll confirm what’s possible with your quote.
For event organisers in Whatlington
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
How we price Mexican catering
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How many guests we are serving
- Distance and access to the venue
- The length of service
- What’s on the menu
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- What power and water the site has
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- The date and rough timings
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
