Mexican catering in Dummer, served fresh
Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so nobody ends up with something they do not want. At family gatherings and christenings and milestone birthdays, we’ll put together a menu of burrito bowls, quesadillas and tacos.
In a rural place like Dummer, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.
Planning the serving area
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.

Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. Around midsummer it stays light in Dummer until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- After service, we clear away and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches

How we price Mexican catering
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Travel, parking and access
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Serving staff
- Timings and hours
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Your menu ideas
- The date and rough timings
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Count children separately
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
If timings change on the day, tell us and we’ll adjust.
Burrito bowls suit guests who’d rather skip the tortilla.
