Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Pizza and burger vans are familiar choices. Mexican street food stands out, yet it’s still food most guests know and like. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

How our Mexican catering works in Lightwater
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so nobody ends up with something they don’t want. It works well for family celebrations and weddings and evening receptions, serving burrito bowls, tacos and burritos.
Around Lightwater, events are often in gardens, fields, local halls or nearby venues. If access is tight or the ground is soft, we’ll plan around it. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Why choose Mexican catering in Lightwater?
Tacos and burritos go down well with most crowds: familiar, filling and easy to eat wherever guests are.
Almost any gathering can work with a truck or trailer. In Lightwater, you could book us for events such as:
- Anniversaries and engagements

Questions from Lightwater
How far is Lightwater from central London?
It’s about 27 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Could you serve in Brentmoor Heath?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
We park our food truck or trailer at your venue and serve hot Mexican street food from it. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Lightwater.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
