The process
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. A December event in Staplecross will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:15pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and how many.
- We come back with menu ideas and a quote.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and arrangements.
- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
- We pack away when service is over.

Mexican catering in Staplecross, 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. It works well for family gatherings and christenings and festivals, fairs and markets, with loaded nachos, tacos and a build-your-own taco bar.
Somewhere as small as Staplecross, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

A closer look at the menu

Build-your-own taco bar
A serving table of fillings, salsas and toppings, with warm tortillas to fill. Each guest makes tacos their way.
Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Send allergy details to us in writing
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start or as a late snack.

If you want food that feels relaxed without being basic, a taco bar or a menu of tacos, burritos and nachos is hard to beat. 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.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- The number of people
- Serving staff
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Your choice of food and drinks
Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- Where the event is
- The date and rough timings
- What power and water the site has
- Roughly how many adults and children
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Planning the serving area
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
