About our Mexican party catering in Caterham
You get to be a guest at your own party: no shopping, no prep and no hours in the kitchen. We take care of the food. Popular choices include guacamole and salsas, a build-your-own taco bar and loaded nachos, which works well for leaving dos and retirements and garden parties.
In a town like Caterham, a garden party is the classic choice, and a hall or club with a car park works if the garden does not. We need a level spot to park and room for a queue. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.
Planning the serving area
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.

A good choice for children.
Build-your-own taco bar
The taco bar is where guests gather, and it suits every diet.
Your questions about Mexican party catering in Caterham
Could you serve our guests after a service at Sacred Heart Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Could you serve in Dollypers Hill?
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.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Can you supply plates?
Let us know what you’d like and we’ll explain the options with your quote.
How much does Mexican party catering cost in Caterham?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.

How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our food truck or trailer, and get on with serving. For a winter party in Caterham, it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, so plan lighting where guests queue and eat. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- It starts with your date, the address, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- Before the day, we check the space, the way in, power and water.
- On the day, we arrive, set up and start serving at the agreed time.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
How to get a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you are ready, tell us about it on our contact page.
