Mexican catering near Westbere
Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Include at least one vegan filling
If timings change on the day, tell us and we will adjust.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
Mexican catering in Westbere, from our food truck or trailer
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. Popular choices include quesadillas, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it suits summer garden parties and weddings and evening receptions.
In a hamlet or village like Westbere, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.

Planning help
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
Occasions we cater for in Westbere
Guests enjoy building their own plate, and a taco bar soon becomes a talking point while they queue.
In Westbere and nearby, we can cater all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:
- Staff parties and office lunches

Westbere: your questions answered
How far is Westbere from London?
It’s about 55 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you cater at coastal events near Westbere?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Is the food very hot?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you cater for big events?
It depends on the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, but tell us your numbers and we’ll take it from there.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.

How it compares
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. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
