Questions from Steel Cross
Which station should guests use for Steel Cross?
Guests can use Crowborough station, about 1.2 miles south of Steel Cross.
Could you serve our guests after a service at The Parish Church of All Saints?
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 is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: 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.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
How we price Mexican bar hire
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Staff for serving and the bar
- The number of people
- Food, drinks or both
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Expected numbers
- A picture of where we’d park
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- The address or venue name
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
