Mexican party catering for your party in Carterton
A Mexican party takes the food off your hands without turning the day into a formal dinner. We park our food truck or trailer and serve hot food while your guests chat. Popular choices include guacamole and salsas, quesadillas and a build-your-own taco bar, which works well for housewarming parties and garden parties.
Garden parties are a favourite in Carterton, and a hall or club with a car park works if the garden doesn’t. We need a level spot to park and room for a queue. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Carterton: your questions answered
How far is Carterton from London?
It’s about 67 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St John the Evangelist?
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’ll check the access.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will talk licensing through with you.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
What does Mexican party catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan somewhere for guests to sit and eat
- Ask guests with serious allergies to talk to us first
- Have bins ready
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
Children love watching their food being made.
