Mexican catering near The Mint
Mexican catering in The Mint, served fresh
Our truck or trailer travels to events across The Mint and nearby: gardens, fields, yards and venues with hardstanding. It works well for garden parties and leaving dos and retirement parties, serving loaded nachos, a build-your-own taco bar and quesadillas.
For a rural spot like The Mint, fields and drives need a little planning: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
Questions from The Mint
We are having a ceremony at Hope Church: can you cater afterwards?
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 will check the access.
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
How spicy is the food?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
How many guests can you cater for?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Bigger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case.
What are your prices?
Every event is quoted for individually, based on guest numbers, the menu, the venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t usually stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, Hampshire included. Find your area.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
Our food truck or trailer is a mobile kitchen. We set up, serve your guests and clear away when service ends.

About 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.

Working with your venue
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
