Mexican catering in Upham, served fresh
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish. At leaving dos and retirement parties and engagement celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of tacos, burrito bowls and loaded nachos and more.
In a rural place like Upham, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Why choose Mexican catering in Upham?

Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Count children separately
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch, so guests can check before they order.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter or as a late snack.
Questions from Upham
How far is Upham from London?
It’s about 61 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary?
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’ll check the access.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
How much does Mexican catering cost in Upham?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Working with your venue
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
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.
How it compares
Platters dropped off in the morning are easy but forgettable. Hot food served from a truck feels like part of the event. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
