Colbury questions
Could you come to a seaside event near Colbury?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you cater in villages like Colbury?
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 long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Do you come to Colbury?
Yes, we do. Colbury is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
About our Mexican catering in Colbury
Our truck or trailer travels to events across Colbury and nearby: private gardens, venue grounds, courtyards and fields, as long as there’s safe access. For family gatherings and christenings and garden parties, we can serve loaded nachos, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas.
In a small place like Colbury, events are normally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
How it compares
Cold buffets are easy, but the food sits out. Our food is served hot, one order at a time. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.

DIY taco night or 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 set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
