Mexican catering for your event in Dungate
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: a taco menu, or tacos plus loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too. For markets and community events and big birthday celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of burrito bowls, a build-your-own taco bar and quesadillas and more.
In a rural place like Dungate, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.

How it works
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. Winter evenings in Dungate close in by about 3:50pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Find out what power and water are available
Ask for a quote
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations

For event organisers in Dungate
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
How we price Mexican catering
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many guests we’re serving
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Distance and access to the venue
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

- The venue or postcode
- The date and rough timings
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
To get a price, just tell us about it on our contact page. Tell us about your event in Dungate, and we will put together a menu and price.
Space, access and the venue
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
