A food truck gives guests somewhere to gather, and the smell of warm tortillas brings people over.
Here are some of the events we cater:

- Big birthday celebrations

When the service is at a church such as Church of St Mary, the food typically happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck.

How our Mexican catering works in Upton
Mixed diets are easy to plan with Mexican street food. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. At fairs and festivals and family celebrations, we can serve tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and burritos and more.
In a small place like Upton, events are typically in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

About the menu
Burritos and burrito bowls
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings rolled in a large tortilla, or served as a bowl instead.
Quesadillas
A quesadilla is an easy favourite, and they go down well with children.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

Common questions in Upton
Do you come to events in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
How far is Upton from London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cater for special diets?
Diets are planned in advance, with options kept separate, though we cannot guarantee a kitchen with no trace of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
