About our Mexican catering in Hightown
We bring our truck or trailer to events in and around Hightown: gardens, fields, yards and venues with hardstanding, wherever we can get in safely. For fundraisers and school events and anniversaries and engagements, we will put together a menu of burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and loaded nachos.
Somewhere as small as Hightown, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we’ll plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
How we price Mexican catering
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Timings and hours
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Staff for serving and the bar
- What the venue already provides
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. To get started, tell us about it on our contact page.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, because fillings and toppings are kept separate. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book with us
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests

Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
- Count children separately
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests build their own while we keep it topped up.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added from our drinks bar, with licensing checked with you.
