Mexican party catering in Ratling
The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A summer party in Ratling stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Tell us when and where, and how many.
- You get a menu and a quote.
- We check access and arrive before your guests.
- Food is served from the hatch or the taco bar.
- We clear our area when service ends.
Before we arrive
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
Getting a price
Send us the date, your venue or CT3 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just tell us about it on our contact page.

Taco bars are made for parties: guests fill their own tortillas from fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings, so everybody gets what they like. For naming days and christenings and exam-results parties, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, loaded nachos and guacamole and salsas for your guests.
Country parties near Ratling suit a food truck or trailer: parked up on firm ground and serving from the hatch. Plan a gazebo for guests in case of rain. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them

We quote for your event, which reflects:
- The menu you choose
- Timings and hours
- How many guests we’re serving
- Food, drinks or both
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

Mexican party catering or something else?
For a party that feels a little special without being formal, Mexican street food is hard to beat. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Why book with us
- Options for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests
- Quoted for your event
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
See how we price and the cost guide.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- A quick photo of the access helps us plan
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
