Mexican catering in Park Wood, served fresh
Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: we park our truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. No kitchen is needed on site. For office lunches and team days and school fairs and fundraisers, we can serve tacos, burrito bowls and burritos.
For a place the size of Park Wood, your own garden or drive is often the best venue: no venue hire, and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Tell us about access down the lane or drive. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
A barbecue often means a host tied to the grill. With us, the cooking happens in our truck or trailer. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is 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.
