Mexican catering in Furnace Wood, from our food truck or trailer
Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: our truck or trailer parks at your venue and we serve hot food straight from the hatch. You don’t need a kitchen at the venue. At milestone birthdays and family celebrations, we can serve tacos, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole for your guests.
Somewhere as small as Furnace Wood, 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. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Catering for every guest
Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included. To get it right:
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Give us separate numbers for children
Allergen information is on hand for every dish, so guests can check before they order.
Quesadillas go down well with children, because they’re simple.
