Your questions about Mexican catering in Southwood
Can you cater a reception after a service at St John the Baptist?
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 you bring your truck or trailer to Ancells Farm Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Can you keep it mild?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Can you serve drinks as well?
Our drinks bar can be added to any booking, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we will check that with you.
How many guests can you cater for?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Bigger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case.
How much does Mexican catering cost in Southwood?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will check the licensing with you.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Why choose Mexican catering in Southwood?
If you want food that feels relaxed without being basic, a taco bar or a menu of tacos, burritos and nachos is hard to beat for your event in Southwood. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

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.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Working with your venue
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
How the day works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps. A December event in Southwood will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.
- 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.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.
Before we arrive
- Find out what power and water are available
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Share the running order, including any speeches
How to get a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just tell us about it on our contact page.

Where the truck can go in Southwood
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Count children separately
- Put any allergies in writing for us
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests help themselves.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters.
