Mexican catering in Fernhill, served fresh
Our food truck or trailer travels to events across Fernhill and nearby: private gardens, venue grounds, courtyards and fields. It works well for staff parties and office lunches and anniversaries and engagements, serving loaded nachos, fresh salsas and guacamole and tacos.
In a rural place like Fernhill, access is the main thing to plan: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

Questions from Fernhill
How far is Fernhill from London?
It is about 24 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Will you travel to a small place like Fernhill?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
What about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How spicy is the food?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
How many guests can you cater for?
It depends on the event. As a guide, it is around 50 to 400 guests; tell us your numbers and we will take it from there.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
A closer look at the menu
Build-your-own taco bar
Fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings laid out for guests to help themselves, with warm tortillas to fill. Everyone builds their own.
Burritos and burrito bowls
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings rolled in a large tortilla, or the same served in a bowl.
Organising for someone else?
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Should I do it myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
How we price Mexican catering
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- The length of service
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Your menu ideas
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Where the event is
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Send us the date, your venue or RH6 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. To get started, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
