Mexican catering for your event in Finberry
We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, while the salsas and guacamole are made fresh. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. At office lunches and team days and christenings and family parties, we can serve loaded nachos, quesadillas and a build-your-own taco bar.
In a small place like Finberry, events are usually in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.
Who books Mexican catering in Finberry?

How we price Mexican catering
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The number of people
- How many staff you need
- Travel, parking and access
- Whether you need disposables
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.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and rough timings
- Diets and allergies you know about
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Your menu ideas
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Mexican catering or something else?
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, because fillings and toppings are kept separate. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why book with us
- Allergen-aware menus
- Book food, drinks or both
- Served fresh from our food truck or trailer
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch

Common questions in Finberry
How far is Finberry from London?
It’s about 50 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
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 will check the access.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
We park our food truck or trailer at your venue and serve hot Mexican street food from it. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.
Can you keep it mild?
It is up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can you serve drinks as well?
Yes. Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We’ll talk licensing through with you.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
