About our Mexican catering in Lower Upham
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so let us know how many you expect. At staff parties and office lunches and school fairs and fundraisers, we will put together a menu of burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas.
In a rural place like Lower Upham, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
FAQs for Lower Upham
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary?
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 will check the access.
Is Lower Upham close to London?
About 62 miles from central London, and we cover it.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
How many guests can you cater for?
That depends on the event. As a guide, it is around 50 to 400 guests; tell us your numbers and we’ll take it from there.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Can you serve in bad weather?
We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, though guests need a covered place to eat.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will go through the licensing with you.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
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’ll do the serving.

Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
