Mexican catering for your event in Sandy Balls
Every menu is agreed with you, so fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. At office lunches and team days and birthday parties, we will put together a menu of fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and loaded nachos for your guests.
Somewhere like Sandy Balls, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many staff you need
- Guest numbers
- What the venue already provides
- Distance and access to the venue
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Expected numbers
- What you’d like on the menu
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
DIY taco night versus 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.
The process
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. Winter evenings in Sandy Balls close in by about 4:05pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- We arrive, set up and cook to order, with salsas and guacamole made fresh.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

Questions from Sandy Balls
Do you come to events in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Giles?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
What does Mexican catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we’ll keep their options separate.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What space do you need?
Send us details of the venue and the access, and we will check it works. Space for a queue and, if you choose one, a taco-bar table helps too.
Can you cater for special diets?
We can. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. We give allergen information for every dish.
