Mexican catering for your event in Poyle
Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food. We serve tacos, loaded nachos and a build-your-own taco bar, and it suits anniversaries and engagements and garden get-togethers.
In a small place like Poyle, events are normally 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. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Popular choices
Burritos and burrito bowls
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings rolled in a large tortilla, or the same served in a bowl.
Loaded nachos
Nachos are easy sharing food. We can plan a dairy-free version.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our truck or trailer.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Poyle
Do you come out to small places like Poyle?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Thomas?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can we add a bar?
We can. Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Licensing is checked with you first.
What’s on the menu?
Tacos, build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. See our sample menu.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t typically 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.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Bigger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.

Other catering in Poyle
Planning for every diet
We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests. To get it right:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so it’s hot when it reaches them.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter.
How we price Mexican catering
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many staff you need
- Plates, napkins and cutlery

- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

When you contact us, it helps to tell us:

- The address or venue name

Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. When you’re ready, tell us about it on our contact page.
