About our Mexican catering in Horney Common
Truck and trailer service generally suits 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. At charity and school events and milestone birthdays, we can serve quesadillas, loaded nachos and burritos.
In a small place like Horney Common, events are typically in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Questions from Horney Common
Will you travel to a small place like Horney Common?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
Can we add a bar?
You can add our drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we’ll check that with you.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Count children separately
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.

Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:

- Guest numbers
- Staff for serving and the bar
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- How we drive in and where we can park

Send us the date, your venue or TN22 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Mexican catering or something else?
Pizza and burger vans are familiar choices. Mexican street food stands out, while still being easy food most people enjoy. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens.

- First, send us a few details about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
How to prepare

Space, access and the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
On the menu in Horney Common
- Loaded nachos
- Quesadillas
- Burritos
- Burrito bowls
- Tacos
- Build-your-own taco bar
Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
