Mexican catering in Arkley
Mexican catering in Arkley, served fresh
Need taco catering in Arkley? Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so each plate is exactly how they like it. For office lunches and team days and charity and school events, we can serve fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and burritos for your guests.
In Arkley, a courtyard, a venue forecourt or a garden with drive access can work well. If the garden is only reached through the house, a spot on the drive or the street may work, with permission. Tell us about the route in. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

How we price Mexican catering
These are the factors that matter most:
- Serving staff
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Timings and hours
- Distance and access to the venue
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where the event is
- Your date and when you want service to start
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Expected numbers
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Cold buffets are easy, but the food sits out. Tacos and burritos are made to order and served hot. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Why us?
- A menu built around your guests
- A plan agreed before the day
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- Events in Arkley and across Greater London

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
What’s on the menu
Build-your-own taco bar
A serving table of fillings, salsas and toppings, with warm tortillas to fill. Each guest makes tacos their way.
Salsas and guacamole
Salsas and guacamole, made fresh for your event, with lime and fresh toppings.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests build their own.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas.
The process
We work to your timings. If things run behind, let us know and we will adjust where we can. Evenings in Arkley stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm. For anything running past sunset, think about lights near the hatch.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- We come back with menu ideas and a quote.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and arrangements.
- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
- We pack away when service is over.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Arkley: your questions answered
Could you serve in Whitings Hill Open Space?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
What’s the nearest station to Arkley for guests?
Guests can use Elstree & Borehamwood station, about 2.1 miles west of Arkley.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. We offer dairy-free options.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
Places near Arkley
What else we do in Arkley
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
In Arkley, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
