Mexican catering in Guilton
Mexican catering in Guilton, served fresh
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. For staff parties and office lunches and christenings and family parties, we can serve burritos, burrito bowls and a build-your-own taco bar.
In a rural place like Guilton, 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. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Guilton questions
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Nicholas: 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. Tell us where the reception will be.
Which station is closest to Guilton?
The closest is Sandwich station, roughly 3.3 miles away.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up, serve your guests and clear away when service ends.
What can we choose from?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or black beans. Take a look at the sample menu.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
How many guests can you cater for?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case.
The process
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Daylight in Guilton runs to about 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. Let us know if service will run after dark, and we will talk about lighting.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- You get a suggested menu, with fillings agreed with you, and a quote.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our food truck or trailer.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Working with your venue
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if it’s a good fit.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests build their own while we keep it topped up.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start or as a late snack.
What we need at the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
