Mexican catering in Charing, from our truck or trailer
Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. Guests come up to the hatch, chat while they wait and take something hot back to their seats. On the menu are loaded nachos, tacos and burritos, which works well for family gatherings and christenings and fairs and festivals.
Around Charing, events are often in gardens, fields, local halls or nearby venues. If access is tight or the ground is soft, we will plan around it. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Mention any other caterers or courses
Rain does not stop us serving from the truck or trailer, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we will set out what we can do in your quote.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Charing
Which station is closest to Charing?
Guests can use Charing station, which is right in Charing.
Is Charing close to London?
It’s about 43 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
What space do you need?
Tell us about the venue and the way in, and we will check it works. Space for a queue and, if you choose one, a taco-bar table helps too.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you do a drinks bar?
Yes. Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We’ll talk licensing through with you.

What Mexican catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Your choice of food and drinks
- The number of people
- How long we are needed on site
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
