About our Mexican catering in Scragged Oak
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so each plate is exactly how they like it. For school fairs and fundraisers and fairs and festivals, we will put together a menu of quesadillas, tacos and burrito bowls and more.
For a rural spot like Scragged Oak, fields and drives need a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
How it works
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. In Scragged Oak, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.

Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests help themselves while we keep it topped up.
Quesadillas go down well with children, because they’re simple.
Comparing your options
Burgers and pizza are what guests often expect. Mexican street food stands out. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
