Mexican catering for Chazey Heath events
DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
About our Mexican catering in Chazey Heath
With mobile Mexican catering, we bring the kitchen with us: we park our food truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. No kitchen is needed on site. It works well for wedding breakfasts and evening food and summer garden parties, with quesadillas, fresh salsas and guacamole and tacos.
Somewhere as small as Chazey Heath, 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. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

What else we do in Chazey Heath
Diets, allergies and planning
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests build their own while we keep it topped up.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters, because they’re simple.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- What’s on the menu
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Guest numbers
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.

Questions from Chazey Heath
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.

It is about 39 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Can you set up at our venue?
Tell us about the venue and the way in, and we’ll check it works. Space for a queue and, if you choose one, a taco-bar table helps too.
How many guests can you cater for?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Bigger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Comparing your options
Platters dropped off in the morning are easy but forgettable. Live service from a truck or trailer gives guests hot food and something to talk about. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
