Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Let us know about any other food at the event
On the day, we arrive in good time to park up and get ready. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters.
Mexican catering for your event in Southwick
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: a taco menu, or tacos plus loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too, with licensing checked with you. We serve burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas, which works well for milestone birthdays and company summer parties.
A place like Southwick may have a hall or a club with a car park nearby; any can work, given permission and level ground to park on. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
A cold buffet is simple but tends to sit out for hours. Our food is served hot, one order at a time. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.

Is Southwick close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we will recommend how to serve.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.

How we price Mexican catering
These are the factors that matter most:
- Parking and the route in
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Timings and hours
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Planning help
Working with your venue
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Planning the serving area
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work. What matters most:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Space for guests to queue
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
What’s on the menu
Tacos
Soft tortillas, warmed and filled, finished with salsas and toppings. Fillings are agreed with you, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms.
Salsas and guacamole
Salsas and guacamole, made fresh for your event.

For a fête or sports day at a school such as Eastbrook Primary Academy, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking. Guests leaving a church like St Michael and All Angels Church after a christening could walk over to a nearby garden where the tacos are ready. The South Downs National Park is within about 8 miles of Southwick, with country venues and gardens that can suit a food truck. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about vehicles and catering, so check with yours. The coast is within about 2 miles of Southwick, so for a seaside event we plan around the wind. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots generally need permission from the council or landowner.

Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
