Planning help
Should I do it myself?
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.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Cranbrook? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will let you know if it is a good fit.

Cranbrook: your questions answered
We are having a ceremony at St Clement's Church: can you cater afterwards?
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. Send us the reception address.
What’s the nearest station to Cranbrook for guests?
Guests can use Ilford station, about 0.5 miles south-east of Cranbrook.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Do you have a licence to sell alcohol?
You will need either the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We’ll talk licensing through with you. See GOV.UK for Temporary Event Notices.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Do you serve responsibly?
Always. No alcohol is served to under-18s, and anyone who has had too much won’t be served more.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
