Mexican catering for your event in Ellen's Green
With mobile Mexican catering, we bring the kitchen with us: we park our truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. No kitchen is needed on site. We serve a build-your-own taco bar, burritos and quesadillas, and it is a good fit for birthday parties and company summer parties.
Somewhere as small as Ellen's Green, 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. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:

- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Tell us what other food is being served
If timings change on the day, tell us and we will adjust.
Quesadillas go down well with children, because they’re simple.

How the day works
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. Around midsummer it stays light in Ellen's Green until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough guest numbers and any 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 arrive, set up and serve hot food from our food truck or trailer.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park

Mexican catering or something else?
If you want food that feels relaxed without being basic, a taco bar or a menu of tacos, burritos and nachos is hard to beat for your event in Ellen's Green. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why us?

- Menus for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
Take a look at how we price and our guide to catering costs.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
What affects the price in Ellen's Green
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- What the venue already provides
- Distance and access to the venue
- How long we’re needed on site
- The menu you choose
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The date and rough timings
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The address or venue name
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your event in Ellen's Green, and we’ll put together a menu and price.
