Mexican catering for your event in Preston
We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. We warm the tortillas as each order goes out. At staff parties and office lunches and leaving parties, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and guacamole and burritos for your guests.
In a rural place like Preston, access is the main thing to plan: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Questions from Preston
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mildred?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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’ll check the access.
Which station is closest to Preston?
Adisham station, about 4.3 miles south of the centre.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
What can we choose from?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or black beans. Take a look at the sample menu.
How many guests can you cater for?
Our service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us about the venue and the way in, and we will confirm what we need. We also need room for a queue.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away quietly.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Sit-down meals need a kitchen, tables and more staff. Our truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, and needs a suitable spot, safe access and the venue’s agreement. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
Why book with us
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- Menus chosen with you
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- Served fresh from our truck or trailer
