DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Mexican catering for your event in Childrey
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so nobody ends up with something they do not want. Popular choices include burrito bowls, a build-your-own taco bar and loaded nachos, which works well for garden parties and leaving dos and retirement parties.
For a rural spot like Childrey, fields and drives need a little planning: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Prices and what affects them
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Whether you need disposables
- Timings and hours
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A picture of where we’d park
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The date and time of the event
- Your menu ideas
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. To get started, fill in our quote form.
How it compares
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, and needs a suitable spot, safe access and the venue’s agreement. 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.

Common questions in Childrey
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
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.
Will you travel to a small place like Childrey?
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.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. We offer dairy-free options.
Can you set up at our venue?
Send us details of the venue and the access, and we’ll check it works. Space for a queue and, if you choose one, a taco-bar table helps too.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. Find your area.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
