Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
We arrive early enough to set up calmly. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters.
Mexican catering in Lyford, from our food truck or trailer
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish. For weddings, day or evening and markets and community events, we can serve fresh salsas and guacamole, burrito bowls and tacos for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Lyford, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. In Lyford, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 4:00pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- After service, we clear away and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Find out what power and water are available
- Name one person we can ask on the day
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. To ask for one, send a quick message through our quote form.

Comparing your options
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

Before you choose a spot
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

FAQs for Lyford
Will you travel to a small place like Lyford?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
What if it rains?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, though guests need a covered place to eat.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Do you cater for big events?
Our service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Bigger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case.
