Mexican catering in Horton
How our Mexican catering works in Horton
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. It works well for weddings, day or evening and birthday parties, serving burritos, loaded nachos and quesadillas.
In a hamlet or village like Horton, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Horton: your questions answered
Is Horton close to London?
It’s about 13 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Is it possible to have you in Horton Country Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What food do you serve?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or black beans. The sample menu shows the options.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we’ll talk it through.
What does Mexican catering cost?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a quote.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.

The menu, item by item
Salsas and guacamole
Every taco needs salsa and guacamole, and guests add as much as they like.
Quesadillas
Toasted tortillas with melted cheese inside.
The process
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A photo of the space helps. A December event in Horton will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
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.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter or as a late snack.

Is Mexican catering right for your event?

DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
How we price Mexican catering
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- What’s on the menu
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- How many guests we are serving
- How long we are needed on site
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
