About our Mexican catering in Horncastle
Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: we park our truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. No kitchen is needed on site. It suits leaving dos and retirement parties and staff parties and office lunches, with fresh salsas and guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and quesadillas.
Around Horncastle, events are often in gardens, fields, local halls or nearby venues. If the road in is narrow or the ground is soft, tell us so we can plan for the truck or trailer. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Include at least one vegan filling
Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so everything goes out hot.

If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
