Mexican catering for Pennington events
How our Mexican catering works in Pennington
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. We serve a build-your-own taco bar, loaded nachos and fresh salsas and guacamole, which works well for family celebrations and milestone birthdays.
In a smaller place like Pennington, your own garden, drive or a local hall is often the simplest option: no venue hire, and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Tell us about access down the lane or drive. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Planning the serving area
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

How the day works
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. In Pennington, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:05pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.

Pennington questions
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mark: can you cater afterwards?
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.

How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
How spicy is the food?
