Mexican catering in Durley
Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
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.
Mexican catering in Durley, from our food truck or trailer
Need taco catering in Durley? Mixed diets are easy to plan with Mexican street food. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish. At school fairs and fundraisers and retirement and leaving parties, we will put together a menu of burrito bowls, tacos and a build-your-own taco bar.
In a hamlet or village like Durley, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
FAQs for Durley
Which station is closest to Durley?
Guests can use Hedge End station, about 1.6 miles south-west of Durley.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of the Holy Cross?
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.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
That depends on the event. As a guide, it’s around 50 to 400 guests; tell us your numbers and we’ll take it from there.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
What does Mexican catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.

What’s on the menu
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.
Build-your-own taco bar
Fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings laid out for guests to help themselves, with tortillas kept warm. Each guest makes tacos their way.
Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Count children separately
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests help themselves while we keep it topped up.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.

A cold buffet is simple but tends to sit out for hours. Tacos and burritos are made to order and served hot. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
