Mexican catering in Totland, served fresh
Food from a truck or trailer feels relaxed. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food, which suits informal events. It works well for markets and community events and garden get-togethers, with burrito bowls, burritos and loaded nachos.
In a smaller place like Totland, your own garden, drive or a local hall is often the simplest option: no venue to hire and no cooking for you. Let us know about the route to the house. You will know what’s included before you book: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
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.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Questions from Totland
Can you serve near the sea around Totland?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots generally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
We’re having a ceremony at Christ Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
How spicy is the food?
It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. We offer dairy-free options, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.

What we need at the venue
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
For somewhere as remote as Totland, early notice helps us plan the trip, the route in and power.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
