Mexican catering for your event in Ford
We plan each menu with the client, so fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. It works well for christenings and family parties and summer garden parties, serving burrito bowls, a build-your-own taco bar and tacos.
In a rural place like Ford, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. You will know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.

About 39 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Ford?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Is the food very hot?
It’s up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground, access for the truck or trailer and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water when you book.
Can you serve drinks as well?
We can. Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Licensing is checked with you first.
Can you cater for special diets?
We can. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
Do you provide drinks?
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 talk licensing through with you and your venue.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.

The process
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we have agreed, planned around your event. From late May to late September, sunset in Ford moves from about 8:55pm to 7:05pm. If your event carries on later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
