What we need at the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- Space for guests to queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

How our Mexican catering works in Bockhanger
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. For festivals, fairs and markets and weddings, day or evening, we will put together a menu of quesadillas, loaded nachos and tacos for your guests.
In and around Bockhanger, gardens and local halls are common choices. If the road in is narrow or the ground is soft, tell us so we can plan for the truck or trailer. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Why choose Mexican catering in Bockhanger?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. Our food truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, and needs a suitable spot, safe access and the venue’s agreement.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Bockhanger
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
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’ll check the access.
How far is Bockhanger from central London?
It’s about 48 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Can you serve in bad weather?
We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, though guests need a covered place to eat.
What can we choose from?
Tacos and taco bars, plus burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. Our sample menu has more detail.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.

- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
