Mexican catering for your event in Chawley
Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food. Popular choices include quesadillas, burrito bowls and loaded nachos, and it’s a good fit for school fairs and fundraisers and family celebrations.
In a hamlet or village like Chawley, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Can you cater in a back garden?

About the menu
Salsas and guacamole
The salsas and guacamole finish every plate, and guests add as much as they like.
Loaded nachos
Nachos are easy sharing food, whether as a starter or a late bite. We can plan a dairy-free version.
How it compares
A cold buffet is simple but tends to sit out for hours. Tacos and burritos are made to order and served hot. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- Every guest catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- Access, space and power checked in advance

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
