How our Mexican catering works in Yalding
Food from a truck or trailer feels relaxed. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food, which suits informal events. It works well for garden parties and birthday parties, serving tacos, loaded nachos and burritos.
In a small place like Yalding, events are generally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Planning the serving area
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Build-your-own taco bar
- Burritos
- Loaded nachos
- Burrito bowls
- Quesadillas
- Tacos
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Your questions about Mexican catering in Yalding
How far is Yalding from central London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
We’re having a ceremony at St Peter's and St Paul's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Is the food very hot?
It is up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service usually suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
What’s on the menu?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
What if it rains?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, though guests need a covered place to eat.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.
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. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will check the licensing with you.
How it works
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. Around midsummer it stays light in Yalding until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
