Mexican catering for your event in Carterton
With mobile Mexican catering, we bring the kitchen with us: we park our truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. You don’t need a kitchen at the venue. Popular choices include quesadillas, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it is a good fit for summer garden parties and family celebrations.
Most events in a town like Carterton are in gardens, halls, clubs or hired venues. All of them can work, as long as the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Step by step

Planning the serving area
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.

Diets, allergies and planning

We work around your timings, and adapt if they move.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
Common questions in Carterton
We’re having a ceremony at St John the Evangelist: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
How far is Carterton from central London?
About 67 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you serve in bad weather?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, though guests need a covered place to eat.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll recommend how to serve.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
What space do you need?
Level, firm ground, access for the truck or trailer and the venue’s agreement. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
