Mexican catering in Chelwood Common, from our truck or trailer
Planning taco catering for an event in Chelwood Common? Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so let us know how many you expect. At big birthday celebrations and office lunches and team days, we’ll put together a menu of tacos, burrito bowls and a build-your-own taco bar for your guests.
For a rural spot like Chelwood Common, 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. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

The process
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. A December event in Chelwood Common will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and how many.
- Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
- Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.
- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
- We pack away when service is over.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

How we price Mexican catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- The menu you choose
- Travel, parking and access
- Guest numbers
- The length of service
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of where we’d park
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send you a clear quote.
Before you choose a spot
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

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 dishes for guests with allergies.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

Do you cater in villages like Chelwood Common?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.

Is the food very hot?
It’s up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service typically suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
Our food truck or trailer is a mobile kitchen. We set up, serve your guests and clear away when service ends.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
