About our Mexican catering in Monken Hadley
Need taco catering in Monken Hadley? 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. It works well for engagement celebrations and office lunches and team days, serving tacos, quesadillas and loaded nachos.
In Monken Hadley, a courtyard, a venue forecourt or a garden with drive access can work well. If the garden is only reached through the house, a spot on the drive or the street may work, with permission. Tell us about the route in. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

What happens on the day
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. Around midsummer it stays light in Monken Hadley until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We confirm the way in and where we will park.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
Preparing for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
