Mexican catering near Elmstone
How our Mexican catering works in Elmstone
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: a taco menu, or tacos plus loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too, with licensing checked with you. For weddings, day or evening and retirement and leaving parties, we will put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, loaded nachos and quesadillas and more.
Somewhere as small as Elmstone, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
Mexican catering or something else?
For food that feels relaxed but generous, tacos, burritos and nachos make a strong choice. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

Before you choose a spot
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Questions from Elmstone
Which station is closest to Elmstone?
Minster station, about 3.9 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Elmstone Church?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will go through the licensing with you and your venue.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan carefully for diets and keep options separate, though we cannot guarantee a kitchen with no trace of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
