How our Mexican catering works in Pilley Bailey
Tacos are the heart of the menu: warm tortillas with your choice of fillings, plus fresh salsas, guacamole and toppings. Burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas can sit alongside them. It works well for leaving dos and retirement parties and family gatherings and christenings, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, loaded nachos and burritos.
In a small place like Pilley Bailey, events are generally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

For a christening or wedding at a church such as Saint Nicholas Chapel, a food truck at a garden or venue nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like William Gilpin Church of England Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser.

How it works
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We’re ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. In Pilley Bailey, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 4:00pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We confirm the way in and where we will park.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
Preparing for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
Getting a price
Send us the date, your venue or SO41 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. Just tell us about it on our contact page.
Planning help
Can I do a taco night myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Planning for every diet
We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. To get it right:
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Send allergy details to us in writing
On the day, we arrive in good time to park up and get ready. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters, because they’re simple.
What’s on the menu
Quesadillas
Toasted tortillas with melted cheese inside.
Burritos and burrito bowls
A burrito is a meal in one. The bowl version suits anyone avoiding tortillas.
