About our corporate Mexican catering in Downside
Work events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and keeps people talking. Tacos, burritos and bowls from our truck or trailer tick every box. For office lunches and client and customer events, we’ll put together a menu of nachos to share, tacos and burrito bowls.
At country venues around Downside, a truck or trailer brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access, ground and power. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Downside: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Downside?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Which station should guests use for Downside?
The closest is Cobham & Stoke Dabernon station, roughly 1 mile away.
What about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, for instance a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
We can. Tell us your numbers and how long the break is, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can you invoice the company?
Ask us when you enquire and we will explain how booking and payment work.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we will keep their options separate.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with 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.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To make it work smoothly:
- Share the timings for food
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
- Check the site allows a food truck or trailer

Our drinks bar for staff parties, with licensing checked with you.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

How it works
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. For a Christmas party in Downside, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the serving area and queue need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- First, we check the date and the site.
- You choose the menu.
- We send the paperwork your venue asks for.
- Staff order at the hatch or the taco bar.
- Service runs to time, then we pack down.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
