Mexican catering for your event in Chalkhouse Green
Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food. We serve fresh salsas and guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and quesadillas, which works well for wedding breakfasts and evening food and family gatherings and christenings.
For a rural spot like Chalkhouse Green, 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. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
