About our Mexican catering in Wilmington
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. It works well for fairs and festivals and leaving dos and retirement parties, with loaded nachos, burrito bowls and quesadillas.
Somewhere as small as Wilmington, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

The process
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. A December event in Wilmington will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:15pm.
- 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.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
Getting a price
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

Questions from Wilmington
Which station is closest to Wilmington?
The closest is Berwick (Sussex) station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Mary and St Peter's Church?
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.
Can you serve in bad weather?
We can still serve in the rain. Have somewhere covered ready for guests.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Can you do gluten-free food?
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 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. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us first.
What areas do you cover?
