How the day works
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. Winter evenings in East Lockinge close in by about 4:00pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.

About our Mexican catering in East Lockinge
With mobile Mexican catering, we bring the kitchen with us: our truck or trailer parks at your venue and we serve hot food straight from the hatch. You don’t need a kitchen at the venue. It suits engagement celebrations and leaving parties, with tacos, loaded nachos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
Somewhere as small as East Lockinge, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we’ll plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Should I do it myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch, and guests are welcome to ask before ordering.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start or as a late snack.
