Questions from Withdean
Could you serve our guests after a service at St John the Evangelist's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
How far is Withdean from London?
It’s about 45 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
How much does Mexican catering cost?
There is no fixed price list, as each event is different. Tell us your numbers and plans and we’ll send a quote for your event.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you come to Withdean?
Yes, we do. Withdean is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can you cater for special diets?
We can. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. We give allergen information for every dish.
How our Mexican catering works in Withdean
Keep it simple or go further: a taco menu, or tacos plus loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too, with licensing checked with you. It suits charity and school events and engagement celebrations, with fresh salsas and guacamole, burrito bowls and burritos.
There may be a hall or club near Withdean if your garden is small; any can work, given permission and level ground to park on. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

How we price Mexican catering
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- How many guests we’re serving
- What the venue already provides
- Timings and hours
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we’ll set out what’s included.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- The venue or postcode
- Your menu ideas
The quickest way to a quote is to drop us a line using the enquiry form. Give us the details of your event, and we will suggest a menu to suit.
How it compares
Sit-down meals need a kitchen, tables and more staff. Our food 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. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
