Mexican catering near Porchfield
Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
How our Mexican catering works in Porchfield
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so let us know how many you expect. On the menu are burrito bowls, loaded nachos and a build-your-own taco bar, which works well for family gatherings and christenings and office lunches and team days.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Porchfield
Could you come to a seaside event near Porchfield?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you cater in villages like Porchfield?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not normally stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we’ll talk licensing through with you and your venue.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How does your Mexican catering work?
We bring our truck or trailer to your venue, cook to order and serve tacos, burritos and more from the hatch. You can also have a build-your-own taco bar.
Comparing your options
A cold buffet is simple but tends to sit out for hours. Tacos and burritos are made to order and served hot. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests build their own.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas.
Step by step
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. In Porchfield, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 4:00pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
Getting a price
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.

Planning the serving area
We will be honest if a space won’t work. The main points are:
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
For somewhere as remote as Porchfield, early notice helps us plan the trip, the route in and power.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
