Mexican catering in Coldharbour, served fresh
We plan each menu with the client, so fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. Popular choices include loaded nachos, quesadillas and tacos, which works well for engagement celebrations and staff parties and office lunches.
In Coldharbour, a courtyard, a venue forecourt or a garden with drive access can work well. London gardens are often reached only through the house, so the truck or trailer may need to stay on a drive or the street, with permission. Tell us about the route in. You will know what’s included before you book: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. 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 will do the serving.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, because fillings and toppings are kept separate. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Why book with us
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch

Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Tell us how many children are coming
We arrive early enough to set up calmly. Someone from the venue just needs to point us to the agreed spot.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas.
FAQs for Coldharbour
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Elmstead Wood?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Alban?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
We bring our food truck or trailer to your venue, cook to order and serve tacos, burritos and more from the hatch. You can also have a build-your-own taco bar.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so contact us early.
Do you do a drinks bar?
We can. Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We’ll check the licensing with you.
