Mexican catering for Pingewood events
Mexican catering in Pingewood, from our truck or trailer
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so nobody ends up with something they do not want. We serve quesadillas, a build-your-own taco bar and tacos, and it suits milestone birthdays and family gatherings and christenings.
Somewhere like Pingewood, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To make it work smoothly:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Let us know about any other food at the event
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area, leaving the space as we found it.
Quesadillas go down well with children.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The menu you choose
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you need disposables
- How many staff you need
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The date and rough timings
- Where the event is
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers

How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. Around midsummer it stays light in Pingewood until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.

- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.

Mexican catering or something else?
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, because fillings and toppings are kept separate. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
