Mexican catering in Golden Cross, served fresh
We bring our truck or trailer to events in and around Golden Cross: private gardens, venue grounds, courtyards and fields. On the menu are fresh salsas and guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and loaded nachos, and it is a good fit for family celebrations and markets and community events.
In a small place like Golden Cross, events are usually in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Is Golden Cross close to London?
It’s about 44 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
Can you serve drinks as well?
We can. The drinks bar offers margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free drinks. Licensing is checked with you first.
Do you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop service from the hatch. Have somewhere covered ready for guests.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.

Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so it is hot when it reaches them.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
