Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Plan a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Connect us with your coordinator
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers and vehicles
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
For a taco bar, fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests can be called up by table.
A wider choice of salsas and toppings fills out the taco bar.
About our wedding Mexican catering in Small Dole
A food truck or trailer suits barns, marquees, gardens and venues with hardstanding, provided there is safe access and level, firm ground. At day-after celebrations and parties after a register office wedding, we’ll put together a menu of quesadillas, burrito bowls and tacos for your guests.
Rural weddings around Small Dole have a charm of their own, and a food truck by the barn or marquee adds to it. Plan for access, soft ground and wet-weather cover for guests. You’ll know what’s included before you book: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Common questions in Small Dole
How far is Small Dole from central London?
It’s about 42 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Can you cater the whole day?
Yes: one part of the day, or both main meals, from the wedding breakfast to evening food. Tell us what you have in mind.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.

Around Small Dole, historic houses include Portslade Manor (4.8 miles south-east). A listed house can make a beautiful backdrop, but many have firm rules on vehicles, so raise the food truck with them at your first visit. If you are hoping for photos in Tottington Wood, check whether the park needs permission for photography or gatherings. Couples near Small Dole have the South Downs National Park within about 7 miles, if a countryside setting appeals. Barns and fields there can be reached down narrow tracks, so we check the route with the venue. A wedding by the sea is possible from Small Dole, with the coast within about 6 miles. Seafront venues may need permission for vehicles, and we plan for the breeze.
For wedding Mexican catering in BN5, we plan around your venue and the route in and timings. Local streets include Downsview, Tottington Drive and Orchard Close; for a wedding at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. We also serve at weddings in Woodmancote (2 miles north-east), Henfield (2 miles north), Blackstone (2 miles north-east), Albourne (3 miles north-east) and High Cross (3 miles north-east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Crawley (15 miles north), Horsham (11 miles north), Worthing (8 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (10 miles north-east), Burgess Hill (7 miles north-east) and Littlehampton (13 miles south-west).

How it compares
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian and vegan guests. Tacos cover them with separate fillings. There is no one-size-fits-all price for wedding Mexican catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Why book with us
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- Served fresh from our food truck or trailer
- Menus for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests
- Allergen-aware menus

What affects the price in Small Dole
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Whether you need disposables
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- How long we’re needed on site
- Travel, parking and access
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Your menu ideas

To get a price, just use our quote form. Give us the details of your wedding, and we will suggest a menu to suit.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A place for the truck or trailer near where guests are eating
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we offer
- Taco bar wedding breakfast
- Evening tacos
- Guacamole and salsas
- Nachos to share
- Burritos and bowls
- Margarita bar
How it works
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. December weddings in Small Dole lose the light by about 3:55pm, so evening guests will be queuing in the dark. Festoon lights by the truck help guests see the menu.
- We start by checking your date.
- You choose the fillings, sides and extras.
- We confirm the plan with your venue.
- Food is served from the taco bar or the hatch.
- We serve, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

For event organisers in Small Dole
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
- Mexican drinks bar: margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas
