How our Mexican catering works in Gaskins
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. At weddings and evening receptions and leaving parties, we can serve loaded nachos, a build-your-own taco bar and quesadillas.
Somewhere as small as Gaskins, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we’ll plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Why choose Mexican catering in Gaskins?
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.

Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

How it works
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. Evenings in Gaskins stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm. For anything running past sunset, think about lights near the hatch.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
How to prepare
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Let us know about any other food at the event
On the day, we arrive in good time to park up and get ready. Someone from the venue just needs to point us to the agreed spot.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters, because they’re simple.

Gaskins questions
We’re having a ceremony at St Catherine-by-the-Green: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Do you cater in villages like Gaskins?
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.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
How much will it cost?
We quote for each event, based on guest numbers, the menu, the venue and timings. For a price, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you come to Gaskins?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Gaskins is within our area. For a quote, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
What space do you need?
Tell us about the venue and the way in, and we’ll check it works. Space for a queue and, if you choose one, a taco-bar table helps too.
