About our Mexican catering in Denton
Need taco catering in Denton? The menu starts with tacos: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. We can add burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. On the menu are fresh salsas and guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and quesadillas, which works well for summer garden parties and family gatherings and christenings.
In a smaller place like Denton, 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. You will know what’s included before you book: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Historic houses near Denton include Monk's House (3.1 miles north-west) and Firle Place (3.3 miles north-east). Estates and historic houses tend to set their own rules for caterers, so find out what yours allows first. Thinking of an event in Castle Hill? Public parks typically need the landowner’s permission for a food truck, so check first. The South Downs National Park is within about 5 miles of Denton, with country venues and gardens that can suit a food truck. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about vehicles and catering, so check with yours. The coast is within about 3 miles of Denton, so for a seaside event we plan around the wind. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots usually need permission from the council or landowner.

Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Common questions in Denton
What’s the nearest station to Denton for guests?
Newhaven Town station, about 0.6 miles south of the centre.
Do you cater at coastal events near Denton?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots typically need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
Our truck or trailer is a mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
What can we choose from?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or black beans. Take a look at the sample menu.
Can you cater for special diets?
Yes. We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. We give allergen information for every dish.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Can you set up at our venue?
Send us details of the venue and the access, and we will confirm what we need. We also need room for a queue.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
The process
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. Around midsummer it stays light in Denton until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Give us a contact for the day
Getting a price
Still deciding on the menu? That’s fine: give us the basics about your event, and we will suggest a menu. When you’re ready, tell us about it on our contact page.
Planning help
Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
Rain does not stop us serving from the truck or trailer, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
Popular choices
Build-your-own taco bar
The taco bar keeps things sociable, and guests with different diets can choose what suits them.
Salsas and guacamole
Every taco needs salsa and guacamole.
Working with your venue
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
