How our Mexican catering works in Boughton Lees
Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food. For weddings, day or evening and family celebrations, we will put together a menu of burritos, burrito bowls and tacos.
In a rural place like Boughton Lees, access is the main thing to plan: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.
What happens on the day
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. Around midsummer it stays light in Boughton Lees until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We confirm the way in and where we will park.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Tell us what power and water the site has

Questions from Boughton Lees
Which station should guests use for Boughton Lees?
Wye station, about 1.4 miles east of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Boughton Lees?
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.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up, serve your guests and clear away when service ends.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
What food do you serve?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or black beans. The sample menu shows the options.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
