Mexican catering for Colnbrook events
About our Mexican catering in Colnbrook
Our truck or trailer travels to events across Colnbrook and nearby: gardens, fields, yards and venues with hardstanding, as long as there is safe access. Popular choices include loaded nachos, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it suits markets and community events and engagement and anniversary parties.
Somewhere as small as Colnbrook, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Count children separately
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Mention any other caterers or courses
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch, so guests can check before they order.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
Where the truck can go in Colnbrook
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- Space for guests to queue

Questions from Colnbrook
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Thomas?
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. Send us the reception address.
Will you travel to a small place like Colnbrook?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
We park our truck or trailer at your venue and serve hot Mexican street food from it. You can also have a build-your-own taco bar.
What’s on the menu?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
How we price Mexican catering
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- What the venue already provides
- Guest numbers
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Distance and access to the venue
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.

The process
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. In Colnbrook, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- We come back with menu ideas and a quote.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and arrangements.
- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
- When you are done, we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Find out what power and water are available
- Name one person we can ask on the day
How to get a price
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.

How it compares
A cold buffet is simple but tends to sit out for hours. Tacos and burritos are made to order and served hot. There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
