Mexican catering in Colthrop
Mexican catering for your event in Colthrop
Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: we park our food truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. No kitchen is needed on site. It works well for summer garden parties and office lunches and team days, serving a build-your-own taco bar, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a hamlet or village like Colthrop, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Colthrop: your questions answered
Is Colthrop close to London?
It’s about 50 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Will you travel to a small place like Colthrop?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we’ll talk it through.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
Allergen information is on hand for every dish, and guests are welcome to ask before ordering.
Quesadillas go down well with children, because they’re simple.
Step by step
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Planning an evening event in Colthrop?
