How our Mexican catering works in Lingfield Common
We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, while the salsas and guacamole are made fresh. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. It works well for summer garden parties and milestone birthdays, serving a build-your-own taco bar, quesadillas and burrito bowls.
In a rural place like Lingfield Common, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run behind, let us know and we will adjust where we can. Evenings in Lingfield Common stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm. For anything running past sunset, think about lights near the hatch.

If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Lingfield Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. Before you pencil in Lingfield Wildlife Area, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement.

- Who provides plates and napkins
- What happens if it rains

Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To make it work smoothly:
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests help themselves while we keep it topped up.
Burrito bowls suit guests who’d rather skip the tortilla.
What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
How it compares
With a barbecue, someone normally ends up stuck at the grill. Book us and the cooking happens in our truck or trailer. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Common questions in Lingfield Common
Will you travel to a small place like Lingfield Common?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Lingfield Wildlife Area?
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 will send what they need from us.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.

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. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
