Mexican catering for Lockerley events
About our Mexican catering in Lockerley
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish. Popular choices include burrito bowls, loaded nachos and burritos, and it is a good fit for weddings, day or evening and charity and school events.
In a hamlet or village like Lockerley, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our truck or trailer, and get on with serving. A December event in Lockerley will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:25pm.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
Rain doesn’t stop us serving from the truck or trailer, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters, because they’re simple.
Mexican catering or something else?
Platters dropped off in the morning are easy but forgettable. Hot food served from a truck feels like part of the event. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.
