Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Bartley: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at Bartley Village Hall?
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 bring a truck or trailer to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you cater for children?
Of course. Quesadillas and simple tacos go down well with children, with salsas served separately. Tell us how many children are coming.
Is the food very hot?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
Step by step
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Throwing a late-May party in Bartley? The sun sets at about 8:55pm. After that, a few lamps or fairy lights near the serving area help.

What Mexican party catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Travel, parking and access
- How many staff you need
- Guest numbers
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Your date and when you want service to start
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
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’ll follow them.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
What we need at the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
