How our Mexican catering works in Thorncross
The menu starts with tacos: warm tortillas with your choice of fillings, plus fresh salsas, guacamole and toppings. We can add burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. It suits festivals, fairs and markets and company summer parties, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and loaded nachos.
Somewhere as small as Thorncross, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Thorncross questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at St. Mary's Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Will you travel to a small place like Thorncross?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan carefully for diets and keep options separate, but we cannot promise a kitchen without traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us first.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
The process
Your timings come first. If things run behind, let us know and we will adjust where we can. Around midsummer it stays light in Thorncross until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 4:05pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We confirm the way in and where we’ll park.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches

Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included. To make it work smoothly:
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Put any allergies in writing for us

If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests help themselves.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter.
How we price Mexican catering

Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
