How our Mexican party catering works in Appleton
Many gardens and drives can take a truck or trailer, as long as the ground is firm and level and the access is wide enough. Send us a picture if you are unsure. It suits street and neighbourhood parties and milestone birthdays, with a build-your-own taco bar, guacamole and salsas and quesadillas.
Near Appleton, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground, and we will plan the set-up. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Mexican party catering or something else?

How we price Mexican party catering
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- How long we are needed on site
- How many guests we’re serving
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- A picture of where we’d park
- The date and rough timings
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

Often, yes, if there is level, firm ground and access wide and high enough for the truck or trailer. Send us a photo of the space.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
