Mexican catering in Thorpe, served fresh

How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our truck or trailer, and get on with serving. Around midsummer it stays light in Thorpe until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

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 be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Questions from Thorpe
Is Thorpe close to London?
Roughly 20 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Thorpe?
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 we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you set up at our venue?
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.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Before you choose a spot
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
