About our Mexican catering in Coolham
Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: our 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. We serve burritos, tacos and quesadillas, and it suits festivals, fairs and markets and big birthday celebrations.
In a rural place like Coolham, access is the main thing to plan: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer.

Coolham: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Mary's Mission Church?
Yes. The church itself is not 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.
Will you travel to a small place like Coolham?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Can we add a bar?
Yes. The drinks bar offers margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free drinks. We will check the licensing with you.
Who books Mexican catering in Coolham?
Tacos and burritos go down well with most crowds: it’s familiar, filling and easy to eat standing up or sitting down.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Birthday parties
- Christenings and family parties
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
- Engagement celebrations
A school such as William Penn School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck.

Planning the serving area
We’ll be honest if a space will not work. What matters most:
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What affects the price in Coolham
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we are needed on site
- Whether you need disposables
- The menu you choose
- The number of people
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Your menu ideas
- What power and water the site has
- Where the event is
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Send us the date, your venue or RH13 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. Just send a quick message through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Send allergy details to us in writing
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests build their own while we keep it topped up.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
