Mexican catering for Locksgreen events
Mexican catering in Locksgreen, served fresh
Planning taco catering for an event in Locksgreen? Our truck or trailer travels to events across Locksgreen and nearby: private gardens, venue grounds, courtyards and fields, as long as there is safe access. It works well for engagement and anniversary parties and company summer parties, with a build-your-own taco bar, quesadillas and burritos.
In a small place like Locksgreen, events are usually in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

What affects the price in Locksgreen
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether you need disposables
- Travel, parking and access
- How many staff you need
- What’s on the menu
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Where the event is
- How we drive in and where we can park
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. To get started, fill in our quote form.
Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Locksgreen
Will you travel to a small place like Locksgreen?
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.
Can you serve near the sea around Locksgreen?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us 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.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
What’s on the menu?
Tacos, build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. Our sample menu has more detail.
How much does Mexican catering cost?
We do not publish set prices, because every event is different. Send your details and you’ll get a quote for your event.
Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests build their own.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we will confirm what’s possible with your quote.
