About our Mexican catering in Ningwood
Taco catering in Ningwood is what we do best. We plan each menu with the client, so fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. It works well for birthday parties and garden get-togethers, serving burrito bowls, quesadillas and a build-your-own taco bar.
In a hamlet or village like Ningwood, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
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.
Comparing your options
If you want food that feels relaxed without being basic, tacos, burritos and nachos make a strong choice for your event in Ningwood. 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.

Popular choices
Tacos
Tacos are the classic street food of Mexico. They come with fresh salsas and toppings, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Build-your-own taco bar
The taco bar keeps things sociable, and guests with different diets can choose what suits them, with every dish labelled.
Planning the serving area
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
Ningwood is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey and access for the truck or trailer.

Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Put any allergies in writing for us
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests build their own.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
Your questions about Mexican catering in Ningwood
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St. Michael the Archangel: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not 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.
Do you cater at coastal events near Ningwood?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots generally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
How much will it cost?
We quote for each event, based on guest numbers, the menu, the venue and timings. For a price, send a quick message through our quote form.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
What space do you need?
Level, firm ground, access for the truck or trailer and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water when you book.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
