Mexican party catering for Colbury events
Colbury questions
Do you cater in the New Forest National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Could you come to a seaside event near Colbury?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots usually need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Can you keep it mild?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will go through the licensing with you.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not normally stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
How our Mexican party catering works in Colbury
A truck or trailer can often park on a drive or in a garden, if there is level, firm ground and a way in that is wide enough. Send us a photo if you’re unsure. Popular choices include quesadillas, a build-your-own taco bar and tacos, and it is a good fit for birthday parties and exam-results parties.
Country parties near Colbury suit a food truck or trailer: served fresh from the hatch in a garden or field. Have a covered area ready in case of rain. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Organising a club, school or community event in Colbury? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
How it works
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. At midsummer, it is light in Colbury until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- We start by checking your date and the space.
- You choose fillings, sides and extras.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.

What affects the price in Colbury
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- What the venue already provides
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Parking and the route in
- The number of people
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican party catering. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
These details help us quote quickly:
- What you’d like on the menu
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Expected numbers
- Where the event is
Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: give us the basics about your party, and we’ll suggest a menu. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
DIY taco night versus 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.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Mexican party catering or something else?
Pizza vans are popular, but most parties have had one. Tacos and nachos feel a little different. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
What you get with us
- Served fresh from our truck or trailer
- Allergen-aware menus
- Service planned around your numbers
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
