Mexican catering in Sandy Cross
Should I do it myself?
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.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Mexican catering in Sandy Cross, served fresh
We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, while the salsas and guacamole are made fresh. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. It works well for office lunches and team days and christenings and family parties, serving a build-your-own taco bar, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
Somewhere like Sandy Cross, a field or garden is often the setting. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer.
Why choose Mexican catering in Sandy Cross?

Sandy Cross: your questions answered
Is Sandy Cross close to London?
About 34 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Aldershot Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will suggest mild options.
Do you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
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.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
For event organisers in Sandy Cross
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
