Mexican catering in Flete
How our Mexican catering works in Flete
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, while the salsas and guacamole are made fresh. We warm the tortillas as each order goes out. At retirement and leaving parties and garden get-togethers, we can serve burritos, quesadillas and tacos for your guests.
Somewhere as small as Flete, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Tell us what other food is being served
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Where the truck can go in Flete
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Space for guests to queue
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
The menu, item by item
Burritos and burrito bowls
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings rolled in a large tortilla, or served as a bowl instead.
Loaded nachos
Tortilla chips piled with cheese, a filling, salsa, guacamole and toppings, made for sharing.
The process
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Around midsummer it stays light in Flete until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- Together we confirm where the truck or trailer will park, plus power and water.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- After service, we clear away and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Find out what power and water are available
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
