Planning an event in Hattingley?
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, because fillings and toppings are kept separate. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
What you get with us
- Every guest catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included
- A menu built around your guests
- Allergen information for every dish
- Access, space and power checked in advance

Mexican catering in Hattingley, served fresh
Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so let us know how many you expect. Popular choices include fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos and burrito bowls, and it suits wedding breakfasts and evening food and engagement and anniversary parties.
Somewhere like Hattingley, a field or garden is often the setting. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Hattingley questions
Will you travel to a small place like Hattingley?
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.
How far is Hattingley from central London?
About 50 miles from central London, and we cover it.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
What do you need at the venue?
Send us details of the venue and the access, and we will check it works. Space for a queue and, if you choose one, a taco-bar table helps too.
What if it rains?
We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, though guests need a covered place to eat.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Popular choices
Tacos
Soft tortillas, warmed and filled, finished with salsas and toppings. Fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms are agreed with you.

Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Put any allergies in writing for us
Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so it is hot when it reaches them.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.
Space, access and the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Mexican catering around Hattingley

When the service is at a church such as Church of St Andrew, the food generally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. For a fête or sports day at a school such as Medstead Church of England Primary School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking.

Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Whether you need disposables
- The menu you choose
- The number of people
