How our Mexican catering works in Wivelrod
Planning taco catering for an event in Wivelrod? Food from a truck or trailer feels relaxed. Guests come up to the hatch, chat while they wait and take something hot back to their seats. On the menu are fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and loaded nachos, and it suits big birthday celebrations and engagement and anniversary parties.
Somewhere like Wivelrod, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.
How we price Mexican catering
These are the factors that matter most:
- Timings and hours
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- What’s on the menu
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The venue or postcode
- What power and water the site has
- Expected numbers
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll send you a clear quote and a suggested menu.
The process
Here’s how the day normally runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. In Wivelrod, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We confirm the way in and where we will park.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
Preparing for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
Ask for a quote
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. Contact us for a quote: just use our quote form.

Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Count children separately
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early

Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so it’s hot when it reaches them.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter or as a late snack.
