Mexican catering for South Holmwood events
How we price Mexican catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Whether you need disposables
- Timings and hours
- Parking and the route in
- How many staff you need
Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Expected numbers
- A picture of where we’d park
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
To get a price, just tell us about it on our contact page. Tell us about your event in South Holmwood, and we will put together a menu and price.
Mexican catering in South Holmwood, served fresh
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so each plate is exactly how they like it. It suits staff parties and office lunches and retirement and leaving parties, with burrito bowls, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
Somewhere like South Holmwood, a field or garden is often the setting. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

South Holmwood questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary Magdalene?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
How far is South Holmwood from London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London.
Do you cater in South Holmwood?
Yes, we do. South Holmwood is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What if it rains?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. Around midsummer it stays light in South Holmwood until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch, and guests are welcome to ask before ordering.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Comparing your options
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
