Is Mexican party catering right for your party?

Unlike a barbecue, there is no waiting for the next batch, and there is no host stuck at the grill. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.

Why us?

  • A quote that sets out what’s included
  • A menu agreed with you
  • Menus for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
  • Catering across West Sussex, including Ditchling Common

  • Timings and hours

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.

Your questions about Mexican party catering in Ditchling Common

Do you come to events 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.

What’s the nearest station to Ditchling Common for guests?

The closest is Burgess Hill station, roughly 1.6 miles away.

Do you do margaritas?

Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. For alcohol, we will talk licensing through with you and your venue.

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.

How much space do you need?

The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.

Can you cater at a hired venue?

Often, yes. We need firm, level ground outside, access and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed when you book.

Can you do gluten-free food?

Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will talk it through.

Planning the serving area

Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:

  • Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
  • A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
  • Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

DIY taco night or a caterer?

Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.

If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.

Step by step

A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. Throwing a late-May party in Ditchling Common? The sun sets at about 8:50pm. Once dusk falls, some garden lighting by the truck makes ordering easier.

  1. We start by checking your date and the space.
  2. You pick the fillings and extras.
  3. Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
  4. We serve hot food at the time you choose.
  5. We pack away and the party carries on.

Preparing for the day

  • Find out what power and water are available
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
