Mexican catering near Claygate
Mexican catering in Claygate, served fresh
Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: our food truck or trailer parks at your venue and we serve hot food straight from the hatch. You do not need a kitchen at the venue. Popular choices include burrito bowls, a build-your-own taco bar and quesadillas, which works well for festivals, fairs and markets and weddings and evening receptions.
Somewhere as small as Claygate, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
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.

Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Count children separately
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Include at least one vegan filling
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch, and guests are welcome to ask before ordering.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we’ll set out what we can do in your quote.
