Mexican party catering in Burstow, from our food truck or trailer
Birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations all suit Mexican street food. Guests gather round the truck or trailer, and the food comes out hot. We serve tacos, a build-your-own taco bar and burritos, and it suits family get-togethers and new-home celebrations.
Near Burstow, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access and soft ground, and we will plan the set-up. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

How the day works
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. At midsummer, it is light in Burstow until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- It starts with your date, the address, numbers and diets.
- We put a menu together and quote for it.
- We check the space and access for the truck or trailer.
- On the day we set up and serve hot food at the time you choose.
- After serving, we tidy up and leave you to celebrate.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, tell us about it on our contact page.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
FAQs for Burstow
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Bartholomew: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not 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 will check the access.
How far is Burstow from London?
It’s about 24 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do we need to provide plates?
Tell us what you need, and we’ll set out what we can do in the quote.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
How much does Mexican party catering cost in Burstow?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a quote.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we’ll talk licensing through with you and your venue.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you cook on site?
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.
