Mexican catering across BN21

A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so each plate is exactly how they like it. It suits family gatherings and christenings and summer garden parties, serving loaded nachos, tacos and burritos.

Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down.

  3. Closer to the day, we confirm timings and arrangements.
  4. At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.

Mexican catering across BN21: what to know

From Eastbourne, Old Town and Upperton to 0 villages and hamlets, events across BN21 range from town-centre venues to gardens and fields, and a truck or trailer suits most settings with access and level ground. Town events mean planning parking; village events mean planning access and ground. Around 7 places in BN21 are close to the coast, where we plan for the wind at seaside events.

Daylight in Old Town runs to about 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. If your event carries on later, tell us what lighting the venue has.

Dietary needs and planning tips

With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:

  • Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
  • Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
  • Send allergy details to us in writing
  • Flag anyone with coeliac disease

When service ends, we pack down and clear our area quietly.

Add our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.

DIY taco night or a caterer?

Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

What affects the price in BN21

Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:

  • Whether you add a drinks bar or food
  • Whether you need disposables
  • The menu you choose
  • How many staff you need

There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.

What about power on site?

Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.

Can you do gluten-free food?

Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?

Do you bring plates and cutlery?

Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.

What if it rains?

We can still serve in the rain. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.

How long do you serve for?

We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
