How our Mexican catering works in Mannings Heath
Truck and trailer service normally suits 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 engagement celebrations and staff parties and office lunches, we’ll put together a menu of fresh salsas and guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and loaded nachos for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Mannings Heath, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. From late May to late September, sunset in Mannings Heath moves from about 8:50pm to 7:05pm. If your event carries on later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- We come back with menu ideas and a quote.
- Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.
- We serve hot food from our truck or trailer at the agreed time.
- When you’re done, we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Planning help
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Why choose Mexican catering in Mannings Heath?
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, because fillings and toppings are kept separate. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
