About our Mexican catering in Meads
Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food, which suits informal events. For milestone birthdays and weddings and evening receptions, we will put together a menu of burrito bowls, tacos and fresh salsas and guacamole and more.
A place like Meads may have a hall or a club with a car park nearby; a truck or trailer can work at any of them, with permission and a level spot. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

On the day, we arrive in good time to park up and get ready. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.
