How our Mexican catering works in Iwade
Tacos are the heart of the menu: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. We can add burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. On the menu are a build-your-own taco bar, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it is a good fit for office lunches and team days and festivals, fairs and markets.
For a place the size of Iwade, your own garden or drive is often the best venue: no venue hire, and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Tell us about access down the lane or drive. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer.
Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
We arrive early enough to set up calmly. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added from our drinks bar, with licensing checked with you.

About 36 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station should guests use for Iwade?
The closest is Kemsley station, roughly 1 mile away.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.

We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.

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.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service typically suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
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. Read our guide to taco bars.
What affects the price in Iwade
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Parking and the route in
- How many staff you need
- What’s on the menu
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Your date and when you want service to start
