Mexican catering near East Marden
Mexican catering in East Marden, from our truck or trailer
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can come from our drinks bar. Popular choices include burrito bowls, fresh salsas and guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar, and it is a good fit for school fairs and fundraisers and leaving dos and retirement parties.
Somewhere as small as East Marden, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

The process
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. A December event in East Marden will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- You get a suggested menu, with fillings agreed with you, and a quote.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and cook to order, with salsas and guacamole made fresh.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.
Getting ready for the day

Planning the serving area
We will agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:

- Space for guests to queue
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
