Mexican catering for Holybourne events
How our Mexican catering works in Holybourne
Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so tell us your numbers. For family celebrations and engagement and anniversary parties, we will put together a menu of burritos, loaded nachos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
Somewhere like Holybourne, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
What happens on the day
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A picture of the space helps. Evenings in Holybourne stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm. Festoon lights or floodlights help once it gets dark.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Questions from Holybourne
How far is Holybourne from London?
About 44 miles from central London.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Holy Rood Church?
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’ll check the access.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.
What do you need at the venue?
We need level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water when you book.
What can we choose from?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria or spiced mushrooms. The sample menu shows the options.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear 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 cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food.

Mexican catering or something else?
A drop-off platter is easy, but nobody remembers it. Live service from a truck or trailer gives guests hot food and something to talk about. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Why us?
- A clear quote
- Allergen-aware menus
- A plan agreed before the day
- A menu built around your guests
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
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.
