Mexican catering for Penny Pot events
Step by step
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. In Penny Pot, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and how many.
- We come back with menu ideas and a quote.
- Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.
- We serve hot food from our food truck or trailer at the agreed time.
- When you’re done, we pack away.
How to prepare
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Mexican catering for your event in Penny Pot
Tacos are the heart of the menu: warm tortillas with your choice of fillings, plus fresh salsas, guacamole and toppings. Burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas can sit alongside them. For leaving parties and family gatherings and christenings, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, burritos and loaded nachos for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Penny Pot, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
What Mexican catering costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The length of service
- The number of people
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The address or venue name
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground

Comparing your options
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, because fillings and toppings are kept separate. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What you get with us
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- Fast service, even with a queue
- Menus for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests

Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Mention any other caterers or courses
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so it is hot when it reaches them.
Burrito bowls suit guests who’d rather skip the tortilla, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.
Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
FAQs for Penny Pot
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Milford Green and Coxhill Green?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Lawrence?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
What’s on the menu?
Tacos, build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. See our sample menu.
Do you cater for big events?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
We bring our truck or trailer to your venue, cook to order and serve tacos, burritos and more from the hatch. You can also have a build-your-own taco bar.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
