About our Mexican catering in Brighstone
With mobile Mexican catering, we bring the kitchen with us: our truck or trailer parks at your venue and we serve hot food straight from the hatch. You don’t need a kitchen at the venue. At anniversaries and engagements and staff parties and office lunches, we’ll put together a menu of loaded nachos, fresh salsas and guacamole and burrito bowls.
For a rural spot like Brighstone, fields and drives need a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

FAQs for Brighstone
Will you travel to a small place like Brighstone?
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.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St. Mary's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will check the licensing with you.
Can you serve in bad weather?
We can still serve in the rain. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, the Isle of Wight included. See all areas.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away, leaving the space as we found it.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff and we will set out what we can do in your quote.
