Mexican catering for Swinbrook events
How it works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. Winter evenings in Swinbrook close in by about 3:55pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:30pm.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
Getting a price
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, use our quote form.

How our Mexican catering works in Swinbrook
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. It suits weddings and evening receptions and festivals, fairs and markets, with tacos, burrito bowls and a build-your-own taco bar.
In a small place like Swinbrook, events are normally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
We work around your timings, and adapt if they move.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.

What else we do in Swinbrook
Swinbrook: your questions answered
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Is Swinbrook close to London?
About 68 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
We bring our food truck or trailer to your venue, cook to order and serve tacos, burritos and more from the hatch. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.
What does Mexican catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
