How our Mexican catering works in Charlton
We bring our food truck or trailer to events in and around Charlton: gardens, fields, yards and venues with hardstanding, wherever we can get in safely. It works well for garden parties and leaving parties, serving loaded nachos, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas and guacamole.
Somewhere as small as Charlton, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Questions from Charlton
Do you come out to small places like Charlton?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, for example a supply from the venue, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What can we choose from?
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria or spiced mushrooms. Take a look at the sample menu.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Planning the serving area
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
