Mexican catering for your event in Jacobs Well
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish. At fundraisers and school events and fairs and festivals, we will put together a menu of burritos, a build-your-own taco bar and loaded nachos.
In a hamlet or village like Jacobs Well, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
Should I do it 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 will do the serving.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

How the day works
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Around midsummer it stays light in Jacobs Well until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- We come back with menu ideas and a quote.
- Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.
- We serve hot food from our truck or trailer at the agreed time.
- We pack away when service is over.

Common questions in Jacobs Well
How far is Jacobs Well from central London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Jacobs Well?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.

Rain does not typically stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.

Send us details of the venue and the access, and we will check it works. Space for a queue and, if you choose one, a taco-bar table helps too.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
