Mexican catering in St Lawrence, from our truck or trailer
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so each plate is exactly how they like it. On the menu are tacos, burrito bowls and loaded nachos, and it is a good fit for big birthday celebrations and family celebrations.
In a smaller place like St Lawrence, your own garden, drive or a local hall is often the simplest option: no venue hire, and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Tell us about access down the lane or drive. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.

Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Do you bring plates and cutlery?

We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, though guests need a covered place to eat.

How the day works
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We’re ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. Around midsummer it stays light in St Lawrence until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
