How our Mexican catering works in Dean
Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: we park our food truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. No kitchen is needed on site. At charity and school events and garden parties, we will put together a menu of quesadillas, loaded nachos and fresh salsas and guacamole and more.
In a hamlet or village like Dean, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Why choose Mexican catering in Dean?
A food truck gives guests somewhere to gather, and the smell of warm tortillas brings people over.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:
- Big birthday celebrations
- Fundraisers and school events
- Summer garden parties
- Leaving dos and retirement parties
Parents planning a fundraiser at a school like Bishops Waltham Infant School might find a Mexican street-food truck draws families in.
Questions to ask before you book
- A food hygiene rating you can check
- The venue requirements
- Travel and parking costs
- VAT, if it applies
Questions from Dean
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you come out to small places like Dean?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
How much does Mexican catering cost?
We do not publish set prices, because every event is different. Send your details and you will get a quote for your event.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
What do you need at the 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.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Popular choices
Salsas and guacamole
Every taco needs salsa and guacamole, and guests add as much as they like.
Tacos
Warm tortillas with a choice of fillings, topped with salsa and fresh toppings. Fillings are agreed with you, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms.
How the day works
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Planning an evening event in Dean? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights or floodlights help once it gets dark.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.

How we price Mexican catering
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Serving staff
- How long we’re needed on site
- What’s on the menu
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many adults and children
- How we drive in and where we can park
The quickest way to a quote is to send a quick message through our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll put together a menu and price.

Organising for someone else?
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
