How our Mexican catering works in Balls Cross
Taco catering in Balls Cross is what we do best. Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: we park our truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. You do not need a kitchen at the venue. For garden get-togethers and family celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole and more.
In a small place like Balls Cross, events are normally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

FAQs for Balls Cross

It’s about 39 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Holy Trinity Church?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Do you cater in Balls Cross?
We do. Balls Cross is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
How many guests can you cater for?
It depends on the event. As a guide, it is around 50 to 400 guests; tell us your numbers and we’ll take it from there.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Send allergy details to us in writing
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests build their own.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added from our drinks bar, with licensing checked with you.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
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, with allergen information for every dish.

How it works
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. Around midsummer it stays light in Balls Cross until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
