About our Mexican catering in Upper Bush
Tacos are the heart of the menu: warm tortillas with your choice of fillings, plus fresh salsas, guacamole and toppings. Burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas can sit alongside them. At company summer parties and birthday parties, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, loaded nachos and quesadillas for your guests.
For a rural spot like Upper Bush, fields and drives need a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How far is Upper Bush from central London?
It’s about 24 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
What can we choose from?
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or black beans. Take a look at the sample menu.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will suggest mild options.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer 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’ll talk licensing through with you.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. In Upper Bush, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
- Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.
- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
- When you’re done, we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Give us a contact for the day
How to get a price
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just tell us about it on our contact page.
Planning help
Should I do it myself?
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.
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 be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
What affects the price in Upper Bush
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- The length of service
- Distance and access to the venue
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- What you’d like on the menu
- Diets and allergies you know about
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Tell us how many children are coming
On the day, we arrive in good time to park up and get ready. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start or as a late snack.
