Mexican catering for your event in Carter's Clay
Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food, which suits informal events. It works well for big birthday celebrations and fundraisers and school events, serving a build-your-own taco bar, loaded nachos and tacos.
Somewhere like Carter's Clay, a field or garden is often the setting. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac

The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. Winter evenings in Carter's Clay close in by about 4:00pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
