Space, access and the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

How our Mexican catering works in Denmead
We plan each menu with the client, so fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. At family celebrations and school fairs and fundraisers, we can serve loaded nachos, a build-your-own taco bar and burritos and more.
For a place the size of Denmead, 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’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.

- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
