Mexican catering for Newton Valence events
How our Mexican catering works in Newton Valence
Our food truck or trailer travels to events across Newton Valence and nearby: gardens, fields, yards and venues with hardstanding, as long as there is safe access. It suits markets and community events and engagement celebrations, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and loaded nachos.
For a rural spot like Newton Valence, fields and drives need a little planning: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

Prices and what affects them
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- What’s on the menu
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- How many guests we are serving
- How long we’re needed on site
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Send us the date, your venue or GU34 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. To get started, fill in our quote form.
What’s on the menu
Salsas and guacamole
Guacamole and salsas, freshly made.
Quesadillas
Toasted tortillas with melted cheese inside.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Put any allergies in writing for us

Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so it’s hot when it reaches them.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas.
The process
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a photo of the space if you are unsure. In Newton Valence, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 4:00pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our truck or trailer.
- After service, we clear away and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Ask the venue about power and water
