FAQs for Heathfield
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Richards Church?
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 big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll suggest mild options.
How does taco bar hire work?
Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. Our staff look after the bar throughout.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
Taco bar hire in Heathfield, from our truck or trailer
We run the taco bar ourselves: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Your hosts can stay with their guests. It works well for evening wedding receptions and wedding day food, serving pickled onions and toppings, a build-your-own taco bar and guacamole.
Near Heathfield, a hall or club may suit a taco bar if your own space is tight; the station needs a level surface, the venue’s permission and somewhere to unload. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

What happens on the day
