How our Mexican party catering works in Merle Common
A truck or trailer can often park on a drive or in a garden, if there’s level, firm ground and a way in that’s wide enough. Send us a photo if you’re unsure. It works well for retirement celebrations and naming days and christenings, with quesadillas, loaded nachos and guacamole and salsas.
Country parties near Merle Common suit a food truck or trailer: parked up on firm ground and serving from the hatch. Have a covered area ready in case of rain. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

A summer party in Merle Common stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.

Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Send us a photo of the access and the space, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.

It’s popular with children, especially quesadillas or simple tacos. Let us know numbers and ages.

We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
