Mexican catering in Lyde Green, served fresh
Food from a truck or trailer feels relaxed. Guests come up to the hatch, chat while they wait and take something hot back to their seats, which suits informal events. On the menu are tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas, and it suits fairs and festivals and leaving parties.
Somewhere as small as Lyde Green, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.
The menu, item by item
Build-your-own taco bar
A serving table of fillings, salsas and toppings, with warm tortillas to fill. Everyone builds their own.
Burritos and burrito bowls
A big flour tortilla wrapped round rice, beans, a filling and toppings, or the same served in a bowl.
FAQs for Lyde Green
Do you come out to small places like Lyde Green?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Is Lyde Green close to London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
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 provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Can you cater for special diets?
Yes. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. We give allergen information for every dish.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Space, access and the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Space for guests to queue
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. Winter evenings in Lyde Green close in by about 4:00pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:25pm.
