Mexican party catering in Chelwood Gate, from our food truck or trailer
Mexican street food suits birthdays, garden parties and all kinds of celebrations. The truck or trailer is a focal point, and every plate goes out hot. On the menu are loaded nachos, burritos and guacamole and salsas, which works well for leaving dos and retirements and baby celebrations.
A country party near Chelwood Gate 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. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

Common questions in Chelwood Gate
We are having a ceremony at Chelwood Gate Church: can you cater afterwards?
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 High Weald National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Do we need to provide plates?
Tell us what you need and we will explain the options with your quote.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you cover Chelwood Gate?
Yes, we do. Chelwood Gate is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. We offer dairy-free options, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
Planning the serving area
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- Send a picture of the spot so we can check
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Step by step
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. A summer party in Chelwood Gate stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- It starts with your date, the address, numbers and diets.
- We put a menu together and quote for it.
- We confirm access, parking, power and water.
- On the day we set up and serve hot food at the time you choose.
- After serving, we tidy up and leave you to celebrate.
Getting ready for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
