Mexican catering in Luccombe Village, from our truck or trailer
Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so let us know how many you expect. For markets and community events and fundraisers and school events, we’ll put together a menu of tacos, loaded nachos and quesadillas.
Somewhere as small as Luccombe Village, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

What we need at the venue

- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
Luccombe Village is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey and access for the truck or trailer.
