Planning an event in Rushenden?
How it works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. Evenings in Rushenden stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm. Festoon lights or floodlights help once it gets dark.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We confirm the way in and where we will park.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Give us your final numbers and diets

Mexican catering for your event in Rushenden
Food from a truck or trailer feels relaxed. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food, which suits informal events. At garden get-togethers and weddings, day or evening, we can serve loaded nachos, fresh salsas and guacamole and tacos.
For a rural spot like Rushenden, fields and drives need a little planning: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Send allergy details to us in writing
Allergen information is on hand for every dish, and guests are welcome to ask before ordering.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters, because they’re simple.
Rushenden questions
Could you serve our guests after a service at Parish Church of the Holy Trinity?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Will you travel to a small place like Rushenden?
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.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Should I do it myself?

You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
