Mexican catering in Abinger Hammer, from our food truck or trailer
Our food truck or trailer travels to events across Abinger Hammer and nearby: private gardens, venue grounds, courtyards and fields, as long as there is safe access. It works well for charity and school events and retirement and leaving parties, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, burrito bowls and loaded nachos.
In a small place like Abinger Hammer, events are normally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we’ll plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Step by step
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit.
