Mexican catering in Carlton Hill
Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Give us separate numbers for children
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests build their own.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start.
About our Mexican catering in Carlton Hill
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, while the salsas and guacamole are made fresh. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. It suits weddings, day or evening and fairs and festivals, with burrito bowls, fresh salsas and guacamole and tacos.
For a place the size of Carlton Hill, your own garden or drive is often the best venue: no venue hire, and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Tell us about access down the lane or drive. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Can you cater for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How it works
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. Evenings in Carlton Hill stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm. For anything running past sunset, think about lights near the hatch.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our food truck or trailer.
- After service, we clear away and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer

Mexican catering around Carlton Hill

When the service is at a church such as Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity, the food typically happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. Before you pencil in Queen's Park, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement. Venues in and around the South Downs National Park, within about 7 miles of Carlton Hill, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before you book.

A closer look at the menu
Loaded nachos
Loaded nachos are perfect for sharing, whether as a starter or a late bite. Dairy-free versions can be planned.
Build-your-own taco bar
The taco bar keeps things sociable, and guests with different diets can choose what suits them, with every dish labelled.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
