Mexican catering near Sandling
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Mexican catering in Sandling, 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. We serve a build-your-own taco bar, tacos and loaded nachos, and it’s a good fit for school fairs and fundraisers and staff parties and office lunches.
In a small place like Sandling, events are generally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer.
Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To get it right:
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.
Burrito bowls suit guests who’d rather skip the tortilla.
Questions from Sandling
Could you serve in Tyland Barn?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
How far is Sandling from London?
It’s about 30 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. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we will keep their options separate.
Do you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
What’s on the menu?
Tacos and taco bars, plus burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. See our sample menu.
What space do you need?
Tell us about the venue and the way in, and we will check it works. We also need room for a queue.
Can you serve drinks as well?
Yes. Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Licensing is checked with you first.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
What we need at the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

DIY taco night or 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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. Our food truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, and needs a suitable spot, safe access and the venue’s agreement. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
