About our Mexican catering in The Moor
Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. Guests come up to the hatch, chat while they wait and take something hot back to their seats, which suits informal events. At family gatherings and christenings and leaving parties, we can serve burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and tacos and more.
In a rural place like The Moor, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Planning the serving area
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Include at least one vegan filling

When service ends, we pack down and clear our area, leaving the space as we found it.
