About our Mexican catering in Stowting Common
With mobile Mexican catering, we bring the kitchen with us: our truck or trailer parks at your venue and we serve hot food straight from the hatch. No kitchen is needed on site. On the menu are loaded nachos, burritos and burrito bowls, and it suits family gatherings and christenings and markets and community events.
In a rural place like Stowting Common, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Sit-down meals need a kitchen, tables and more staff. Our food truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
Why us?
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- A menu agreed with you
- A plan agreed before the day
- Fast service, even with a queue

How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. In Stowting Common, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- 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.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
How spicy is the food?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
What do you serve?
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.

We need level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water when you book.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.

Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.

Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
