About our Mexican catering in Ranmore Common
We bring our truck or trailer to events in and around Ranmore Common: private gardens, venue grounds, courtyards and fields, as long as there is safe access. On the menu are fresh salsas and guacamole, burrito bowls and loaded nachos, and it’s a good fit for milestone birthdays and anniversaries and engagements.
In a hamlet or village like Ranmore Common, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
What we need at the venue
We will agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- Space for guests to queue

Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Parking and the route in
- The menu you choose
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Expected numbers
- The date and rough timings
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Where the event is
Still deciding on the menu? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll make suggestions. When you’re ready, use our quote form.
Common questions in Ranmore Common
Do you cater in villages like Ranmore Common?
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.
How far is Ranmore Common from central London?
It’s about 21 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
What’s on the menu?
Tacos, build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. Our sample menu has more detail.
Are plates and napkins included?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
What if it rains?
We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
