A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:

We serve evening food when the running order says, such as after the cake is cut.

Wedding Mexican catering in Poynings, from our food truck or trailer
Our truck or trailer suits marquee, barn and garden weddings, provided there is safe access and level, firm ground. At receptions after a small ceremony and vow renewals and blessings, we will put together a menu of quesadillas, fresh guacamole and salsas and loaded nachos.
Rural weddings around Poynings have a charm of their own, and a food truck by the barn or marquee adds to it. Plan access, ground and cover in case of rain. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

Poynings questions
What’s the nearest station to Poynings for guests?
Guests can use Hassocks station, about 3.3 miles north-east of Poynings.
How far is Poynings from London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is the food very hot?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
What’s on the menu?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes, and it saves you passing messages. Put us in touch and we will agree the details.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
