Your questions about Mexican party catering in Calcott
Can you serve near the sea around Calcott?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots usually need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Curtis Wood?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you keep it mild?
It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you do a taco bar?
We can. 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.
Is Mexican party catering right for your party?
Cooking yourself saves money but costs you the party. With us, you get to enjoy it. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book with us
- Allergen-aware menus
- A menu agreed with you
- Served fresh from our food truck or trailer
- Set-up planned with you and your venue

Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Before you choose a spot
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- A quick photo of the access helps us plan
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

What happens on the day
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. For a winter party in Calcott, it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, so think about how guests will see their way to the truck. In late June, it stays light until about 9:15pm.

- You get a sample menu and a quote for your party.
- We check the space and access for the truck or trailer.
