Mexican catering in BN26

How Mexican catering works in BN26

Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food. We serve burritos, loaded nachos and a build-your-own taco bar, which works well for christenings and family parties and markets and community events.

Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit.

  1. Contact us with the basics: when, where and how many.
  2. Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
  3. Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.
  4. At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
  5. We pack away when service is over.

Cost

If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Local landmarks in Polegate

In Polegate, that could mean a party near Horse & Groom pub, Willingdon Community School and St John's Church of England Church. Polegate has its own railway station: Polegate station, handy for guests travelling by train. A little further out are Burlough Castle (3.4 miles west) and Eastbourne District General Hospital (2.5 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Combe Hill.

Catering events across BN26

Across BN26, we cater in 3 towns and 16 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Polegate, Lower Willingdon and Alfriston to a quiet hamlet: access, level ground and a clear plan. The South Downs National Park is within easy reach of places across BN26, so check venue rules on vehicles, ground and access for countryside events. Around 16 places in BN26 are close to the coast, where we plan for the wind at seaside events, and seafront spots need permission and firm ground for the truck or trailer.

Polegate: Close to Polegate are historic houses such as Michelham Priory (3.2 miles north-west) and Alfriston Clergy House (4.1 miles west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and vehicles early. For a fête or sports day at a school such as Polegate Primary School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking. Evenings in Polegate stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm. Festoon lights or floodlights help once it gets dark.

Events we cater in BN26

Mixed diets are easy to plan for, because guests choose their own fillings and toppings. Vegans and vegetarians eat as well as anyone else.

A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Common bookings include:

  • Engagement and anniversary parties
  • Staff parties and office lunches
  • Fundraisers and school events
  • Leaving parties

Popular choices

Burritos and burrito bowls

A big flour tortilla wrapped round rice, beans, a filling and toppings, or the same served in a bowl.

Build-your-own taco bar

A taco bar is relaxed and sociable, and it makes mixed diets easy.

Before you choose a spot

If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you. The main points are:

  • A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
  • Some distance from houses and neighbours

DIY taco night or a caterer?

Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Comparing your options

Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, thanks to separate fillings and toppings.

What your quote should include

  • Allergen information for each dish
  • The deadline for final numbers
  • Where to see their hygiene rating
  • Any travel, parking or access charges

BN26 questions

What does Mexican catering cost?

The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?

What do you need at the venue?

Access and level ground matter most: 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.

How spicy is the food?

It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.

What food and drinks do you offer?

We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
