Mexican catering in Barfrestone, served fresh
The menu starts with tacos: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. Burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas can sit alongside them. It suits markets and community events and garden parties, serving quesadillas, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a hamlet or village like Barfrestone, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.

Organising for someone else?

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
Your questions about Mexican catering in Barfrestone
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Nicholas: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
How far is Barfrestone from London?
It’s about 61 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan carefully for diets and keep options separate, but we cannot promise a kitchen without traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll recommend how to serve.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
It depends on the event. As a guide, it is around 50 to 400 guests; tell us your numbers and we’ll plan around them.

Guests arriving by train will find that the nearest station is Shepherds Well station, about 1.3 miles south-west.

How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our food truck or trailer, and get on with serving. A December event in Barfrestone will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- You get a suggested menu, with fillings agreed with you, and a quote.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and cook to order, with salsas and guacamole made fresh.
- After service, we clear away and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Ask the venue about power and water
Ask for a quote
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
The menu, item by item
Quesadillas
Toasted tortillas with melted cheese inside.
Burritos and burrito bowls
Burritos are filling and easy to eat on the move. Bowls suit guests who want to skip the tortilla.

- Serving staff

The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.

Why choose Mexican catering in Barfrestone?
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. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
