Mexican catering for your event in Old Wives Lees
With mobile Mexican catering, we bring the kitchen with us: our truck or trailer parks at your venue and we serve hot food straight from the hatch. No kitchen is needed on site. For office lunches and team days and family gatherings and christenings, we will put together a menu of tacos, burritos and burrito bowls and more.
In a hamlet or village like Old Wives Lees, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Send allergy details to us in writing
We work around your timings, and adapt if they move.
Quesadillas go down well with children, because they’re simple.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Questions from Old Wives Lees
Is Old Wives Lees close to London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
How spicy is the food?
It is up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Can you serve in bad weather?
Rain does not stop service from the hatch. Have somewhere covered ready for guests.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Our service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
