Mexican party catering in Bowcombe, served fresh
Taco bars are made for parties: everyone builds their own tacos from the fillings and toppings, so everybody gets what they like. It suits baby celebrations and housewarmings, with tacos, quesadillas and a build-your-own taco bar.
In a small place like Bowcombe, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access and soft ground, and we’ll plan around it. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
What Mexican party catering costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Food, drinks or both
- Timings and hours
- Travel, parking and access
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- What power and water the site has
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- The address or venue name
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, send a quick message through our quote form.
Bowcombe questions
Could you come to a seaside event near Bowcombe?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots normally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St. Nicholas in Castro: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Can you supply plates?
Ask us when you enquire, and we will set out what we can do in the quote.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Can you park at my house?
Typically, if there’s firm, level ground and a way in that is wide and tall enough. Send a photo and we’ll check.
What’s on the menu?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.

Planning the serving area
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Space for guests to queue
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
For somewhere as remote as Bowcombe, early notice helps us plan the trip, the route in and power.

Step by step
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. At midsummer, it’s light in Bowcombe until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- Tell us when and where, and how many.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We check access and arrive before your guests.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own tacos.
- We clear our area when service ends.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
