Mexican catering for Labour-in-vain events
How our Mexican catering works in Labour-in-vain
With mobile Mexican catering, we bring the kitchen with us: our truck or trailer parks at your venue and we serve hot food straight from the hatch. You do not need a kitchen at the venue. It works well for charity and school events and summer garden parties, with fresh salsas and guacamole, burrito bowls and a build-your-own taco bar.
Somewhere like Labour-in-vain, a field or garden is often the setting. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Mexican catering or something else?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, and needs a suitable spot, safe access and the venue’s agreement. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
