Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The menu you choose
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Distance and access to the venue
- Guest numbers
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The address or venue name
- Approximate guest numbers, including children

Mexican catering in Cranbrook, served fresh
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. On the menu are quesadillas, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it’s a good fit for markets and community events and family celebrations.
For a place the size of Cranbrook, your own garden or drive is often the best venue: no venue to hire and no cooking for you. Tell us about access down the lane or drive. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
What happens on the day
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t usually stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Evenings in Cranbrook stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm. Festoon lights or floodlights help once it gets dark.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- 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 arrive, set up and serve hot food from our truck or trailer.
- After service, we clear away and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches

Common questions in Cranbrook
Can you cater a reception after a service at Congregational Church?
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. Send us the reception address.
Is it possible to have you in Crane Valley?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will talk it through.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To make it work smoothly:
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests build their own.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
Mexican catering or something else?
A drop-off platter is easy, but nobody remembers it. Hot food served from a truck feels like part of the event. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we’ll set out what’s included.

DIY taco night versus 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.
