How our Mexican catering works in Itchen Stoke
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so nobody ends up with something they do not want. It suits birthday parties and weddings and evening receptions, with fresh salsas and guacamole, loaded nachos and burrito bowls.
Somewhere as small as Itchen Stoke, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

Questions from Itchen Stoke
Do you come out to small places like Itchen Stoke?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Is Itchen Stoke close to London?
About 56 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is the food very hot?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What access do you need?
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 photo of the space and the way in.
Mexican catering or something else?
If you want food that feels relaxed without being basic, a taco bar or a menu of tacos, burritos and nachos is hard to beat. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
