Common questions in Cross in Hand
Will you travel to a small place like Cross in Hand?
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.
What’s the nearest station to Cross in Hand for guests?
Guests can use Buxted station, about 3.9 miles west of Cross in Hand.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, East Sussex included. See all areas.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Is the food very hot?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
Will someone run the bar?
We bring bar staff, and serve throughout the agreed hours.
What’s on the drinks menu?
Our bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.

Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Your menu ideas
- The date and time of the event
- What power and water the site has
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
Is Mexican bar hire right for your event?
With tacos on the menu, margaritas and Mexican beer fit perfectly. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
