Mexican catering in Puckpool, served fresh
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can come from our drinks bar, with licensing checked with you. For big birthday celebrations and leaving dos and retirement parties, we can serve quesadillas, tacos and loaded nachos for your guests.
In a small place like Puckpool, events are typically in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we’ll plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so it is hot when it reaches them.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
