Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Count children separately
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
If timings change on the day, tell us and we’ll adjust.
Quesadillas go down well with children.
Mexican catering in Downley, served fresh
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too. For wedding breakfasts and evening food and markets and community events, we can serve burritos, quesadillas and tacos for your guests.
In a small place like Downley, events are generally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.

How it works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. Winter evenings in Downley close in by about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:25pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We confirm the way in and where we’ll park.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Downley questions
Could you serve our guests after a service at St. James the Great?
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.
Do you cater in villages like Downley?
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.
Do you cater in Downley?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Downley and the rest of Buckinghamshire. To check your date, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
Our food truck or trailer is a mobile kitchen. We set up, serve your guests and clear away when service ends.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Can you serve in bad weather?
Rain does not stop service from the hatch. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
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.
Why choose Mexican catering in Downley?
Food is cooked to order and served hot, rather than sitting out on a buffet table.
These are some of the occasions we serve:
- Staff parties and office lunches
- Weddings and evening receptions
- Garden parties
- Charity and school events
If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like The Downley School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser.
What your quote should include
- Allergen information for each dish
- A clear list of what’s included
- How long the service runs
- What the caterer needs from your venue
Downley: venues, access and local tips
Downley is about 2 miles north-west of High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire.

Close to Downley are historic houses such as Hughenden Manor (0.8 miles east) and West Wycombe Park House (1.2 miles west).
