Mexican catering for your event in Monkton
We bring our truck or trailer to events in and around Monkton: private gardens, venue grounds, courtyards and fields. It works well for family celebrations and birthday parties, serving a build-your-own taco bar, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a rural place like Monkton, access is the main thing to plan: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
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.
How it works
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. In Monkton, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.

Questions from Monkton
How far is Monkton from central London?
About 60 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Monkton?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
It depends on the event. As a guide, it is around 50 to 400 guests; tell us your numbers and we’ll take it from there.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Can we add a bar?
You can add our drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we will check that with you.
What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- Space for guests to queue
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
We arrive early enough to set up calmly. Someone from the venue just needs to point us to the agreed spot.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter.
