Mexican party catering in Charlwood
What happens on the day
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. For a winter party in Charlwood, it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, so think about how guests will see their way to the truck. At midsummer, sunset is about 9:20pm.
- You tell us the date, the address, guest numbers and any diets.
- You get a sample menu and a quote for your party.
- We check the space and access for the truck or trailer.
- We set up and serve tacos and more while your guests enjoy the party.
- After serving, we tidy up and leave you to celebrate.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Charlwood questions
Could you serve our guests after a service at Monkwood Mission Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you serve from my drive or garden?
It depends on the access and the ground. Tell us about gates, slopes and soft lawns, and we’ll confirm.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Travel, parking and access
- The length of service
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Your choice of food and drinks
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.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
- What you’d like on the menu

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
