Mexican catering in Ruckinge, from our food truck or trailer
Our truck or trailer travels to events across Ruckinge and nearby: private gardens, venue grounds, courtyards and fields. It works well for office lunches and team days and school fairs and fundraisers, serving quesadillas, tacos and a build-your-own taco bar.
Somewhere as small as Ruckinge, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

FAQs for Ruckinge
Which station is closest to Ruckinge?
Ham Street station, about 1.5 miles west of the centre.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary Magdalene?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
Can you serve in bad weather?
We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, though guests need a covered place to eat.

Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
We arrive early enough to set up calmly. Someone from the venue just needs to point us to the agreed spot.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added from our drinks bar, with licensing checked with you.
Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Ruckinge? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Serving staff
- How long we are needed on site
- Parking and the route in
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- The date and time of the event
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- The address or venue name
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, send a quick message through our quote form.
Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
What we need at the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Space for guests to queue
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
