How our Mexican catering works in Bartley
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can come from our drinks bar, with licensing checked with you. It works well for charity and school events and summer garden parties, with burritos, burrito bowls and a build-your-own taco bar.
Somewhere as small as Bartley, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we’ll plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

Bartley questions
Will you travel to a small place like Bartley?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Do you come to events in the New Forest National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
What about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop service from the hatch. Have somewhere covered ready for guests.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
How much will it cost?
We do not publish set prices, because every event is different. Send your details and you’ll get a quote for your event.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
What affects the price in Bartley
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Travel, parking and access
- Guest numbers
- What the venue already provides
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
There’s 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.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Your date and when you want service to start
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Expected numbers
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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.
Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
Allergen information is on hand for every dish, and guests are welcome to ask before ordering.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added from our drinks bar.
Before you choose a spot
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
The menu, item by item
Build-your-own taco bar
A taco bar is relaxed and sociable, and it makes mixed diets easy.
Salsas and guacamole
The salsas and guacamole finish every plate, and guests add as much as they like.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. Our truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, and needs a suitable spot, safe access and the venue’s agreement. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
