About our Mexican catering in Calcott
Tacos are the heart of the menu: warm tortillas with your choice of fillings, plus fresh salsas, guacamole and toppings. We can add burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. At weddings, day or evening and christenings and family parties, we will put together a menu of fresh salsas and guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and burritos for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Calcott, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Calcott: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Calcott?
Guests can use Sturry station, about 1.5 miles south of Calcott.
Could you serve in Curtis Wood?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
Diets are planned in advance, with options kept separate, but we can’t promise a kitchen without traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us first.
Can you serve in bad weather?
We can still serve in the rain. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
What Mexican catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- The number of people
- Food, drinks or both
- How long we are needed on site
- The menu you choose
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- What you’d like on the menu
- The venue or postcode

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Mention any other caterers or courses
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so it is hot when it reaches them.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff and we’ll confirm what’s possible with your quote.
