How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t usually stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. At midsummer, it is light in Monks Orchard until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

Monks Orchard questions
What about parking in Monks Orchard?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
We are having a ceremony at St George The Martyr Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
When should I book?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Check your date with us.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Vegetarian and vegan fillings are cooked and served separately. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the party.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Count adults and children separately
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Have enough chairs for most guests
When you’re ready to eat, we start serving.
Simple quesadillas for children.
Why choose Mexican party catering in Monks Orchard?
Guests choose their own fillings and toppings, so nobody is left out.
A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Common bookings include:
- Housewarmings
- Anniversaries and engagement parties
- Milestone birthdays
- Retirement celebrations
Thinking of a party in Ashburton Park? A food truck in a public park generally needs permission from the landowner, so check first.
What to look for in a quote
- Plates and napkins, or nothing at all
- Whether VAT is included
- How late numbers can change
- Whether travel is included
Can I do a taco night myself?
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’ll do the serving.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many staff you need
- The number of people
- The menu you choose
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
