Mexican catering in Harpsden
Mexican catering in Harpsden, from our food truck or trailer
Taco catering in Harpsden is what we do best. A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so nobody ends up with something they don’t want. On the menu are fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and a build-your-own taco bar, and it suits school fairs and fundraisers and weddings and evening receptions.
In a hamlet or village like Harpsden, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Questions from Harpsden
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Mill Meadows?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Do you cater in villages like Harpsden?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up, serve your guests and clear away when service ends.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.

How it works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you are unsure. Around midsummer it stays light in Harpsden until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- We come back with menu ideas and a quote.
- Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.
- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
- We pack away when service is over.
How to prepare
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Getting a price
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
