About our Mexican party catering in Ardingly
Tacos are relaxed party food: easy to eat with one hand, so guests can keep chatting and there is no need for a seating plan. It works well for graduation celebrations and neighbourhood celebrations, serving burritos, guacamole and salsas and a build-your-own taco bar.
A country party near Ardingly is a good fit for street food: served fresh from the hatch in a garden or field. Plan a gazebo for guests in case of rain. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
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 cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.

Planning a party in Ardingly
Ardingly is about 3 miles north of Haywards Heath, in West Sussex. Wherever your party is in the RH17 area, we’ll come to your venue or site. We serve in 371 places in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Ardingly to Brighton (15 miles away).
After a christening at a church like St Peter's Church, a taco truck at home or at a hall is an easy way to feed family and friends. Friends travelling without a car may like to know that Balcombe station is about 2.5 miles away. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Ardingly, so a garden party here may come with a lovely view. Country lanes can be narrow, so tell us about the route in.
We serve at parties all over the RH17 postcode area and the streets around it. Local streets include High Street, Munnion Road and Price Way; for a party at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. Close by, we cover parties in Little London (1 mile north), Highbrook (1 mile north-east), Lindfield (2 miles south), Horsted Keynes (2 miles east) and West Hoathly (2 miles north-east).

Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
