Catering for every guest
Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included. To make it work smoothly:
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Count children separately
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
We arrive early enough to set up calmly. Someone from the venue just needs to point us to the agreed spot.
Burrito bowls suit guests who’d rather skip the tortilla.
Mexican catering for your event in Copnor
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. We warm the tortillas as each order goes out. At markets and community events and staff parties and office lunches, we’ll put together a menu of loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls and more.
In a smaller place like Copnor, your own garden, drive or a local hall is often the simplest option: no venue to hire and no cooking for you. Let us know about the route to the house. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

What else we do in Copnor
What affects the price in Copnor
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Distance and access to the venue
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- How many staff you need
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and time of the event
- What you’d like on the menu
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
How it works
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. From late May to late September, sunset in Copnor moves from about 8:55pm to 7:10pm. If your event carries on later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- Together we confirm where the truck or trailer will park, plus power and water.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and diets

Questions from Copnor
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Alexandra Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Alban: can you cater afterwards?
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 will check the access.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
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 keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us about the venue and the way in, and we will confirm what we need. We also need room for a queue.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.

Where the truck can go in Copnor
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
