Mexican catering near Henwood
Mexican catering for your event in Henwood
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, which suits informal events. At festivals, fairs and markets and weddings, day or evening, we can serve burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas and more.
Somewhere as small as Henwood, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. You will know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

How the day works
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. Winter evenings in Henwood close in by about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Planning help
Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
What’s on the menu
Loaded nachos
Crisp tortilla chips loaded with toppings, salsa and guacamole.
Burritos and burrito bowls
A burrito is a meal in one. Bowls suit guests who want to skip the tortilla.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Count children separately
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area, leaving the space as we found it.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters.
