Mexican catering in Chaldon, from our food truck or trailer
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. No kitchen is needed on site. It suits festivals, fairs and markets and leaving parties, with fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and a build-your-own taco bar.
In a rural place like Chaldon, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Perfect for your event in Chaldon
Guests enjoy building their own plate, and a taco bar soon becomes a talking point while they queue.
Almost any gathering can work with a truck or trailer. In Chaldon, you could book us for events such as:
- Big birthday celebrations
- Engagement celebrations
- Weddings and evening receptions
- Family gatherings and christenings
Guests leaving a church like Church of St Peter and St Paul after a christening could walk over to a nearby garden where the tacos are ready.

Before you choose a spot
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue

- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
