Mexican catering for Prestonville events
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
How our Mexican catering works in Prestonville
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too, with licensing checked with you. It suits leaving dos and retirement parties and company summer parties, serving loaded nachos, tacos and a build-your-own taco bar.
For a place the size of Prestonville, your own garden or drive is often the best venue: no venue hire, and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Tell us about access down the lane or drive. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.

Prestonville questions
Can you serve near the sea around Prestonville?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
We bring our truck or trailer to your venue, cook to order and serve tacos, burritos and more from the hatch. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Space, access and the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What else we do in Prestonville
Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area, leaving the space as we found it.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.

How it works
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. In Prestonville, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
- Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.
- We serve hot food from our truck or trailer at the agreed time.
- We pack away when service is over.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Planning help
DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
