How our Mexican catering works in Hensting
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. It suits milestone birthdays and weddings, day or evening, serving quesadillas, burrito bowls and burritos.
For a rural spot like Hensting, fields and drives need a little planning: 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. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
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.
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Hensting? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
How it works
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. Winter evenings in Hensting close in by about 4:00pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We confirm the way in and where we’ll park.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Other catering in Hensting
Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Count children separately
Rain doesn’t stop us serving from the truck or trailer, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start.
Comparing your options
Burgers and pizza are what guests often expect. Tacos, burritos and nachos feel a little different. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
