How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. For a winter party in Lordswood, it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, so plan lighting where guests queue and eat. In late June, it stays light until about 9:25pm.
- Send us your date, where the party is, numbers and dietary needs.
- We put a menu together and quote for it.
- We check the space and access for the truck or trailer.
- On the day, we arrive, set up and start serving at the agreed time.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
How to prepare
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

FAQs for Lordswood
Could you come to a seaside event near Lordswood?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to St James' Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we will talk it through.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Yes, if there’s space outside for the truck or trailer and the venue agrees. Check the venue allows a catering vehicle.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Do we need to provide plates?
Tell us what you need, and we will set out what we can do in the quote.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Send us a picture of the access and the space, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Is Mexican party catering right for your party?
Compared with a barbecue, a food truck serves steadily from the start, and nobody is stuck at the grill. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
What you get with us
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
