How our Mexican catering works in Hawthorn
Food from a truck or trailer feels relaxed. Guests come up to the hatch, chat while they wait and take something hot back to their seats. For staff parties and office lunches and charity and school events, we’ll put together a menu of quesadillas, burritos and loaded nachos for your guests.
In a rural place like Hawthorn, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Hawthorn
How far is Hawthorn from central London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Is it possible to have you in Bishopstone Cliffs?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
Diets are planned in advance, with options kept separate, but we cannot promise a kitchen without traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us first.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
How does your Mexican catering work?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. In Hawthorn, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight.

- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
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.
Space, access and the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Space for guests to queue
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
