Mexican catering near Budds
DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Mexican catering in Budds, served fresh
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. At garden parties and markets and community events, we’ll put together a menu of burrito bowls, burritos and a build-your-own taco bar.
For a rural spot like Budds, fields and drives need a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Planning the serving area
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work. The main points are:
- Space for guests to queue
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Common questions in Budds
What’s the nearest station to Budds for guests?
Guests can use Hildenborough station, about 2.6 miles south-west of Budds.
Do you cater in villages like Budds?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.

Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.

We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.

Mexican catering or something else?
