Mexican catering for your event in Apse Heath
Tacos are the heart of the menu: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. Burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas can sit alongside them. On the menu are fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and loaded nachos, which works well for weddings and evening receptions and charity and school events.
In a rural place like Apse Heath, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away.
Quesadillas go down well with children.
Planning the serving area
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
Apse Heath is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey and access for the truck or trailer.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Burritos
- Quesadillas
- Tacos
- Build-your-own taco bar
- Loaded nachos
- Burrito bowls
Step by step
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. Around midsummer it stays light in Apse Heath until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Let us know the timings for the day
Getting a price
Send us the date, your venue or PO36 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. Just tell us about it on our contact page.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Sit-down meals need a kitchen, tables and more staff. Our truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, and needs a suitable spot, safe access and the venue’s agreement. There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
