Questions from Compton
We’re having a ceremony at Church of All Saints: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
What’s the nearest station to Compton for guests?
Guests can use Shawford station, about 0.5 miles east of Compton.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
What if it rains?
We can still serve in the rain. Have somewhere covered ready for guests.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will suggest mild options.
How much will it cost?
We don’t publish set prices, because every event is different. Tell us your numbers and plans and we will send a quote for your event.
Mexican catering in Compton, served fresh
The menu starts with tacos: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. We can add burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. It suits fairs and festivals and garden parties, with fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos and loaded nachos.
In a hamlet or village like Compton, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many guests we’re serving
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Travel, parking and access
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A picture of where we’d park
- Diets and allergies you know about
- What you’d like on the menu
- The date and time of the event

Who books Mexican catering in Compton?
There is no kitchen needed at the venue, so it works in gardens, fields and grounds without catering facilities.
Whatever the occasion, the serving truck can be a highlight. We are happy to cater:
- Retirement and leaving parties
- Weddings and evening receptions
- Garden get-togethers
- Festivals, fairs and markets
Parks such as St. Cross Park usually need the owner’s permission for vehicles and catering, so ask before you plan an event there.
