How our Mexican catering works in Southwater
Our food truck or trailer travels to events across Southwater and nearby: gardens, fields, yards and venues with hardstanding, wherever we can get in safely. For office lunches and team days and big birthday celebrations, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, burritos and quesadillas for your guests.
In and around Southwater, gardens and local halls are common choices. If the road in is narrow or the ground is soft, tell us so we can plan for the truck or trailer. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Mention any other caterers or courses
We arrive early enough to set up calmly. Someone from the venue just needs to point us to the agreed spot.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.
Questions from Southwater
Which station is closest to Southwater?
Guests can use Christs Hospital station, about 1.9 miles north-west of Southwater.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Holy Innocents Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Can you cater for special diets?
Yes. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. We give allergen information for every dish.
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.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. 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.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
What’s on the menu
Salsas and guacamole
Every taco needs salsa and guacamole.
Tacos
Soft tortillas, warmed and filled, finished with salsas and toppings. Fillings are agreed with you, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms.
Planning the serving area
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Serving staff
- Timings and hours
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- What the venue already provides
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many adults and children
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. For a quote, send a quick message through our quote form.
How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain does not usually stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. From late May to late September, sunset in Southwater moves from about 8:50pm to 7:05pm. If your event carries on later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
How to get a price
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

Comparing your options
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, because fillings and toppings are kept separate. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
