About the menu

Quesadillas
Tortillas filled with melted cheese and a filling, toasted until crisp, cut into wedges.
Mexican catering for your event in Purley
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so tell us your numbers. Popular choices include burrito bowls, quesadillas and burritos, which works well for charity and school events and garden parties.
In Purley, a courtyard, a venue forecourt or a garden with drive access can work well. London gardens are often reached only through the house, so the truck or trailer may need to stay on a drive or the street, with permission. Send us a picture of the access. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

What Mexican catering costs
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- The length of service
- Distance and access to the venue
- What the venue already provides
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Where the event is
- What power and water the site has
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Expected numbers

How it works
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. A December event in Purley will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- You get a suggested menu, with fillings agreed with you, and a quote.
- Together we confirm where the truck or trailer will park, plus power and water.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our food truck or trailer.
- After service, we clear away and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Tell us what power and water the site has

Planning the serving area
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
As a London location, Purley is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
