Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
We arrive before your guests to set up, so food is ready when you want it.

Mexican party catering in Monkwood, from our truck or trailer
Mexican party catering means no cooking for you and no formal dinner either. We park our truck or trailer and serve hot food while your guests chat. It suits anniversary celebrations and street and neighbourhood parties, with guacamole and salsas, tacos and a build-your-own taco bar.
In a small place like Monkwood, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access and soft ground, and we’ll plan the set-up. We prepare everything fresh for your party and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Monkwood: your questions answered
Is Monkwood close to London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
We’re having a ceremony at Monkwood Mission Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Do you cater at halls and clubs?
Yes, if there is space outside for the truck or trailer and the venue agrees. Check the venue allows a catering vehicle.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space.
