Book Mexican catering in Capel Cross
Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Send allergy details to us in writing
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter or as a late snack.
How our Mexican catering works in Capel Cross
With mobile Mexican catering, we bring the kitchen with us: we park our food truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. No kitchen is needed on site. Popular choices include loaded nachos, burritos and a build-your-own taco bar, which works well for weddings, day or evening and fairs and festivals.
In a hamlet or village like Capel Cross, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Before you choose a spot
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Quesadillas
- Tacos
- Burrito bowls

The menu, item by item
Tacos
Tacos are the classic street food of Mexico. They come with fresh salsas and toppings, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Burritos and burrito bowls
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings rolled in a large tortilla, or served as a bowl instead.
Your questions about Mexican catering in Capel Cross
What’s the nearest station to Capel Cross for guests?
The closest is Marden station, roughly 3.5 miles away.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
For event organisers in Capel Cross
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Why choose Mexican catering in Capel Cross?
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, because fillings and toppings are kept separate. There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
