Mexican catering in Preston, from our food truck or trailer
Our truck or trailer travels to events across Preston and nearby: private gardens, venue grounds, courtyards and fields, wherever we can get in safely. Popular choices include quesadillas, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it suits birthday parties and garden get-togethers.
In and around Preston, gardens and local halls are common choices. If access is tight or the ground is soft, we will plan around it. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer.

Common questions in Preston
How far is Preston from central London?
About 45 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to Preston?
Guests can use Faversham station, which is right in Preston.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Can you cater for special diets?
Yes. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. We give allergen information for every dish.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.

Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you need disposables
- The menu you choose
- How long we are needed on site
- Travel, parking and access
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The date and rough timings
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground

What else we do in Preston
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
A closer look at the menu
Build-your-own taco bar
The taco bar keeps things sociable, and guests with different diets can choose what suits them.
Loaded nachos
Nachos are easy sharing food, whether as a starter or a late bite. We can plan a dairy-free version.
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
Rain doesn’t stop us serving from the truck or trailer, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we will confirm what’s possible with your quote.
How it compares
Burgers and pizza are what guests often expect. Tacos, burritos and nachos feel a little different, while still being easy food most people enjoy. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
