We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. It suits christenings and family parties and retirement and leaving parties, with quesadillas, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a small place like New Copse, events are typically in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

FAQs for New Copse
Will you travel to a small place like New Copse?
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.
Is New Copse close to London?
About 49 miles from central London.
How does your Mexican catering work?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up, serve your guests and clear away when service ends.
Do you do a drinks bar?
We can. Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Licensing is checked with you first.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
Can you cater for special diets?
Yes. There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. We give allergen information for every dish.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added from our drinks bar.
