- Enquire early for summer Saturdays

- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
We serve evening food when the running order says, often after the first dance.
Quesadillas go down well with children.
Wedding Mexican catering in Balcombe, served fresh
We can cater the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. A taco bar for the meal and loaded nachos or tacos for the evening works well. We serve loaded nachos, quesadillas and evening tacos, which works well for informal wedding breakfasts and vow renewals and blessings.
A wedding in a small place like Balcombe often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A truck or trailer works well there: no kitchen, just firm ground and access. Let us know about access, ground, power and water. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

What affects the price in Balcombe
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Distance and access to the venue
- How long we are needed on site
- Whether you need disposables
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Roughly how many adults and children
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Diets and allergies you know about
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
The process
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. A winter wedding in Balcombe gets dark early, at about 3:55pm in December, so evening guests will be queuing in the dark. Festoon lights by the truck help guests see the menu.
- We start with your date, venue, guest numbers and ideas for the day.
- Together we choose a taco bar, evening food or both, and we send a quote.
- Timings and where the truck or trailer will stand are agreed with your venue.
- On the day, we set up and serve on cue, around speeches and photos.
- We pack down after service and leave our area tidy.
How to prepare
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Tell us what power and water the site has
