Mexican catering for Forest Corner events
What Mexican catering costs
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Guest numbers
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- How long we are needed on site
- How many staff you need
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Expected numbers
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. To get started, use our quote form.
Mexican catering in Forest Corner, from our food truck or trailer
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so tell us your numbers. On the menu are quesadillas, burritos and burrito bowls, which works well for fundraisers and school events and garden parties.
In a hamlet or village like Forest Corner, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Give us separate numbers for children
On the day, we arrive in good time to park up and get ready. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff and we will confirm what’s possible with your quote.
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Occasions we cater for in Forest Corner
Food is cooked to order and served hot, rather than sitting out on a buffet table.
Here are some of the events we cater:

Common questions in Forest Corner
Do you come to events in the New Forest National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St John the Baptist?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
How much does Mexican catering cost?
We quote for each event, based on guest numbers, the menu, the venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Organising for someone else?
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.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
