Mexican catering in Quidhampton, served fresh
We plan each menu with the client, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. On the menu are tacos, a build-your-own taco bar and quesadillas, and it suits weddings, day or evening and retirement and leaving parties.
In a hamlet or village like Quidhampton, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Can you serve in bad weather?
We can still serve in the rain. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case.

Tacos, build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. See our sample menu.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
Allergen information is on hand for every dish.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters, because they’re simple.

- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
