Mexican party catering in River, from our truck or trailer
The menu is agreed with you, perhaps with carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, plus vegan options such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. We serve tacos, guacamole and salsas and burritos, which works well for garden get-togethers and big birthdays.
In a place like River, a garden party is usually the easiest option. Let us know how the truck or trailer can reach the garden, and we will plan the rest. Everything is prepared fresh for your party and served from our food truck or trailer.

River questions
Could you come to a seaside event near River?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Peter: 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 will check the access.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Can you park at my house?
Normally, if there is firm, level ground and a way in that is wide and tall enough. Send us a photo of the space.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Tell us what you need and we’ll explain the options with your quote.
What will our party cost?
There’s no fixed price list, because every party is different. Tell us your numbers and plans for a quote.
