How our Mexican catering works in Paddock
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can come from our drinks bar. For school fairs and fundraisers and staff parties and office lunches, we’ll put together a menu of burritos, quesadillas and tacos.
For a rural spot like Paddock, fields and drives need a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Count children separately
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Include at least one vegan filling
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so everything goes out hot.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we will confirm what’s possible with your quote.

About the menu
Build-your-own taco bar
The taco bar keeps things sociable, and it makes mixed diets easy, with every dish labelled.
Burritos and burrito bowls
A burrito is a meal in one. The bowl version suits anyone avoiding tortillas.
Perfect for your event in Paddock
Guests enjoy building their own plate, and a taco bar soon becomes a talking point while they queue.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Charity and school events
- Garden get-togethers
- Retirement and leaving parties
- Markets and community events
If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Challock Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser.
Before you book anyone
- How bad weather is handled
- How many staff are serving, and for how long
- Payment terms and deposit
- Plates and napkins, or nothing at all
Paddock questions
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Cosmas and St Damian?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you cater in villages like Paddock?
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.
Can you serve drinks as well?
We can. The drinks bar offers margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free drinks. Licensing is checked with you first.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
What if it rains?
We can still serve in the rain. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
Step by step
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a photo of the space if you are unsure. In Paddock, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Find out what power and water are available
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
Getting a price
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.

Where the truck can go in Paddock
We will agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
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.
