- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Mexican catering in Windmill Hill, from our truck or trailer
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. At retirement and leaving parties and company summer parties, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and loaded nachos.
For a rural spot like Windmill Hill, fields and drives need a little planning: 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 will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Questions from Windmill Hill
Which station is closest to Windmill Hill?
Guests can use Normans Bay station, about 4.7 miles south-east of Windmill Hill.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Herstmonceux Free Church?
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.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Can we add a bar?
Our drinks bar can be added to any booking, with bar staff serving margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We’ll talk licensing through with you before the day.
How many guests can you cater for?
It depends on the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, but tell us your numbers and we’ll plan around them.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
We plan carefully for diets and keep options separate, though we cannot guarantee a kitchen with no trace of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
What’s on the menu?
Tacos and taco bars, plus burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. Our sample menu has more detail.
What Mexican catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Your choice of food and drinks

Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
