About our Mexican catering in Chawton
Taco catering in Chawton is what we do best. Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, while the salsas and guacamole are made fresh. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. It works well for festivals, fairs and markets and company summer parties, serving burrito bowls, fresh salsas and guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar.
In a small place like Chawton, events are normally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
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.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Planning the serving area
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day

How we price Mexican catering
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Distance and access to the venue
- How long we are needed on site
- How many guests we’re serving
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- A picture of where we’d park
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The date and rough timings
- Roughly how many adults and children
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch, so guests can check before they order.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
