How our Mexican catering works in Kingsdown
The menu starts with tacos: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. Burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas can sit alongside them. For fairs and festivals and engagement and anniversary parties, we can serve quesadillas, fresh salsas and guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar and more.
A place like Kingsdown may have a hall or a club with a car park nearby; a truck or trailer can work at any of them, with permission and a level spot. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

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.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Kingsdown: your questions answered
We are having a ceremony at St. John the Evangelist: can you cater afterwards?
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.
Can you serve near the sea around Kingsdown?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots typically need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Can you serve in bad weather?
We can still serve in the rain. Have somewhere covered ready for guests.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will suggest mild options.
Can you serve drinks as well?
You can add our drinks bar, with bar staff serving margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we’ll check that with you.
Can you cater for special diets?
Diets are planned in advance, with options kept separate, but we can’t promise a kitchen without traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us first.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
What affects the price in Kingsdown
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Timings and hours
- How many guests we’re serving
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Travel, parking and access
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The date and rough timings
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The venue or postcode
- Diets and allergies you know about
Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. To start, send us your details through our quote form.

Mexican catering or something else?
A cold buffet is simple but tends to sit out for hours. Our food is served hot, one order at a time. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
