About our Mexican catering in Westcott
We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. Popular choices include a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and guacamole and burrito bowls, and it suits weddings and evening receptions and christenings and family parties.
For a rural spot like Westcott, fields and drives need a little planning: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.

What happens on the day
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. Winter evenings in Westcott close in by about 3:55pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.

Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Mention any other caterers or courses
Allergen information is on hand for every dish.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we’ll set out what we can do in your quote.
Perfect for your event in Westcott
Mexican street food suits almost any crowd: it is familiar, filling and easy to eat standing up or sitting down.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Common bookings include:
- Engagement celebrations
- Leaving dos and retirement parties
- Summer garden parties
- Family celebrations
For a fête or sports day at a school such as Surrey Hills All Saints Primary School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking.
Questions to ask before you book
- Allergen information for each dish
- A food hygiene rating you can check
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- VAT, if it applies
Your questions about Mexican catering in Westcott
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Will you travel to a small place like Westcott?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
How does your Mexican catering work?
Our truck or trailer is a mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
Diets are planned in advance, with options kept separate, though we cannot guarantee a kitchen with no trace of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
