Mexican catering in Inkpen Common, from our food truck or trailer
Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food. It suits garden parties and leaving parties, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and tacos.
Somewhere like Inkpen Common, a field or garden is often the setting. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
