Mexican catering in Dorchester, from our food truck or trailer
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: a taco menu, or tacos plus loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls. Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can come from our drinks bar. Popular choices include quesadillas, tacos and burrito bowls, and it is a good fit for weddings and evening receptions and staff parties and office lunches.
In a small place like Dorchester, events are typically in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we’ll plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

What else we do in Dorchester
Comparing your options
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. Our food truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, and needs a suitable spot, safe access and the venue’s agreement. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.

Planning the serving area
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
On the menu in Dorchester

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The menu you choose
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- The number of people
- Whether you need disposables
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many adults and children
- A picture of where we’d park
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Common questions in Dorchester
Could you serve our guests after a service at Dorchester Abbey?
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.
Which station should guests use for Dorchester?
Culham station, about 3.1 miles west of the centre.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How much will it cost?
We do not publish set prices, because every event is different. Send your details and you will get a quote for your event.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. We offer dairy-free options.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter.
About the menu
Build-your-own taco bar
The taco bar keeps things sociable, and guests with different diets can choose what suits them.
Loaded nachos
Tortilla chips piled with cheese, a filling, salsa, guacamole and toppings.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
