Mexican street food in Groombridge
Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Mexican street food in Groombridge, served fresh
Organisers can book us as a public stall or to feed crew, volunteers and hospitality areas. Popular choices include burrito bowls, loaded nachos and burritos, which works well for community events and open days and fundraisers and fêtes.
At a fête or field event near Groombridge, a truck or trailer brings hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
How we price Mexican street food
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- How many staff you need
- The number of people
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we’ll set out what’s included.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Your menu ideas
- Your date and when you want service to start
- The address or venue name
- Any dietary needs and allergies
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, tell us about it on our contact page.
How it compares
Some street food is slow to serve one order at a time. Our fillings are ready to go, so orders are quick. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.

Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. Late-September events in Groombridge see sunset at about 7:05pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.

- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- We serve to order through the event.
