It works well for company summer parties and retirement and leaving parties, serving quesadillas, burrito bowls and tacos.

What affects the price in Binsted
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- The length of service
- Travel, parking and access
- The menu you choose
- The number of people
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- A picture of where we’d park
- What you’d like on the menu
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The date and time of the event
Send us the date, your venue or GU34 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. To get started, send a quick message through our quote form.
The menu, item by item

Fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings laid out for guests to help themselves, with tortillas kept warm. Everyone builds their own.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Binsted
How far is Binsted from London?
It’s about 41 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of the Holy Cross?
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’ll check the access.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
How many guests can you cater for?
Our service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
Diets are planned in advance, with options kept separate, but we cannot promise a kitchen without traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us first.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Other catering in Binsted
Perfect for your event in Binsted
Tacos and burritos go down well with most crowds: it’s familiar, filling and easy to eat standing up or sitting down.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
- Garden parties
- Charity and school events
- Retirement and leaving parties
If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like Church of the Holy Cross, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal.
What to look for in a quote
- The deadline for final numbers
- How each diet is kept separate
- When payment is due
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
How it compares
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, because fillings and toppings are kept separate. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
