Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Put any allergies in writing for us
Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so everything goes out hot.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Tinkers Cross questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Sandleheath Village Hall?
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. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you cater in villages like Tinkers Cross?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
What space do you need?
Tell us about the venue and the way in, and we will confirm what we need. We also need room for a queue.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
