Mexican catering in Waltham St Lawrence, served fresh
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. It suits office lunches and team days and weddings and evening receptions, with tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas.
Somewhere as small as Waltham St Lawrence, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
Waltham St Lawrence questions
Which station is closest to Waltham St Lawrence?
Twyford station, about 2.6 miles west of the centre.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Lawrence: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Can you serve in bad weather?
We can still serve in the rain. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you do a 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.
How does your Mexican catering work?
Our food truck or trailer is a mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will talk licensing through with you.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?

Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How many staff you need
- Distance and access to the venue
- Timings and hours
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The venue or postcode
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- What you’d like on the menu
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Catering for every guest
Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included. To get it right:
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests build their own.
Quesadillas go down well with children.

Salsas and guacamole
The salsas and guacamole finish every plate, and guests add as much as they like.
Loaded nachos
Nachos are easy sharing food. Dairy-free versions can be planned.
What happens on the day
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. Around midsummer it stays light in Waltham St Lawrence until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
How to get a price
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
