Mexican catering in Parkgate
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Mexican catering for your event in Parkgate
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so let us know how many you expect. For engagement and anniversary parties and retirement and leaving parties, we will put together a menu of tacos, a build-your-own taco bar and burrito bowls and more.
In a small place like Parkgate, events are generally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Questions from Parkgate
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Wattle Wood?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Do you cater in villages like Parkgate?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.
Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch, so guests can check before they order.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
