Mexican catering for your event in Penton Hook
Tacos are the heart of the menu: warm tortillas with your choice of fillings, plus fresh salsas, guacamole and toppings. We can add burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. On the menu are quesadillas, a build-your-own taco bar and tacos, which works well for leaving dos and retirement parties and staff parties and office lunches.
For a rural spot like Penton Hook, fields and drives need a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

Comparing your options
A drop-off platter is easy, but nobody remembers it. Live service from a truck or trailer gives guests hot food and something to talk about. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Penton Hook questions
Could you serve in Penton Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Do you cater in villages like Penton Hook?
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.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
We plan carefully for diets and keep options separate, but we cannot promise a kitchen without traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
What can we choose from?
Tacos and taco bars, plus burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. Our sample menu has more detail.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we will talk it through.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up, serve your guests and clear away when service ends.
Space, access and the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Step by step
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A picture of the space helps. A December event in Penton Hook will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- You get a suggested menu, with fillings agreed with you, and a quote.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.
Before we arrive
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
