Mexican catering in Anthill Common, from our food truck or trailer
With mobile Mexican catering, we bring the kitchen with us: we park our truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. You don’t need a kitchen at the venue. We serve a build-your-own taco bar, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it’s a good fit for anniversaries and engagements and office lunches and team days.
Somewhere like Anthill Common, a field or garden is often the setting. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.

Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain

- Tell us how many children are coming
Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so it is hot when it reaches them.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we will set out what we can do in your quote.
How the day works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Around midsummer it stays light in Anthill Common until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- 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 set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.
How to prepare
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
