Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
On the day, we arrive in good time to park up and get ready. Someone from the venue just needs to point us to the agreed spot.
Quesadillas go down well with children.
About our Mexican catering in Copythorne
With mobile Mexican catering, we bring the kitchen with us: our food truck or trailer parks at your venue and we serve hot food straight from the hatch. No kitchen is needed on site. It works well for big birthday celebrations and christenings and family parties, with quesadillas, fresh salsas and guacamole and burrito bowls.
In a rural place like Copythorne, 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. You will know what’s included before you book: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Space, access and the venue
We will be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
