How our Mexican catering works in Borstal
Mixed diets are easy to plan with Mexican street food. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish. At leaving parties and festivals, fairs and markets, we will put together a menu of burrito bowls, quesadillas and a build-your-own taco bar.
There may be a hall or club near Borstal if your garden is small; a truck or trailer can work at any of them, with permission and a level spot. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

FAQs for Borstal
How far is Borstal from London?
It is about 26 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Could you serve in Baty's Marsh?
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’ll send what they need from us.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
How many guests can you cater for?
It depends on the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, but tell us your numbers and we will plan around them.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Can you keep it mild?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. We offer dairy-free options.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To make it work smoothly:
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests help themselves.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff and we’ll set out what we can do in your quote.
What we need at the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. Around midsummer it stays light in Borstal until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.

What Mexican catering costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Parking and the route in
- The menu you choose
- What the venue already provides
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Where the event is
- The date and rough timings
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A picture of where we’d park
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.

Build-your-own taco bar
Fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings laid out for guests to help themselves, with warm tortillas to fill. Everyone builds their own.
Salsas and guacamole
Every taco needs salsa and guacamole.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
A cold buffet is simple but tends to sit out for hours. 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. Ask us for a quote.
