About our Mexican catering in West Thorney
Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so let us know how many you expect. For fairs and festivals and school fairs and fundraisers, we will put together a menu of fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and burritos and more.
In a rural place like West Thorney, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Questions from West Thorney
Which station is closest to West Thorney?
Guests can use Southbourne station, about 2.2 miles north of West Thorney.
Could you come to a seaside event near West Thorney?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including West Sussex. Find your area.
Can we add a bar?
We can. Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Licensing is checked with you first.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
Yes. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
What food do you serve?
Tacos and taco bars, plus burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. Our sample menu has more detail.
Do you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, though guests need a covered place to eat.
Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
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.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch, so guests can check before they order.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
The process
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Around midsummer it stays light in West Thorney until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- We arrive, set up and cook to order, with salsas and guacamole made fresh.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Getting ready for the day
