How our Mexican party catering works in Balcombe Lane

Many gardens and drives can take a truck or trailer, if there’s level, firm ground and a way in that is wide enough. Send us a picture if you are unsure. At new-home celebrations and retirement celebrations, we will put together a menu of burritos, a build-your-own taco bar and quesadillas for your guests.

Near Balcombe Lane, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground, and we’ll plan the set-up. We prepare everything fresh for your party and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Questions to ask before you book

Can I do a taco night myself?

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

Balcombe Lane: your questions answered

Which station is closest to Balcombe Lane?

Balcombe station, about 1.3 miles south of the centre.

Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.

Can you run a bar?

Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will talk licensing through with you.

How many guests can you serve?

Our truck and trailer service typically suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.

Is the food made fresh?

We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.

Can you serve from my drive or garden?

That depends on the way in and the ground. Let us know about gates, slopes and soft grass, and we will confirm.

Do you need electricity?

That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.

What we need at the venue

Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:

  • Permission from the venue or landowner
  • Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
  • Send a picture of the spot so we can check

Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

The process

Here’s how the day usually runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. Sunset in Balcombe Lane ranges from about 9:20pm at midsummer to about 3:55pm in December, so autumn and winter parties need more thought about lighting.

  1. We start by checking your date and the space.
  2. You pick the fillings and extras.
  3. We confirm power, water and the way in.
  4. We serve hot food at the time you choose.
  5. We tidy up and leave you to enjoy the party.

Getting ready for the day

  • Give us your final numbers and diets
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
