Mexican party catering for your party in Compton
Mexican street food suits birthdays, garden parties and all kinds of celebrations. The truck or trailer is a focal point, and every plate goes out hot. For housewarming parties and family get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, tacos and quesadillas.
In a small place like Compton, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access and soft ground, and we’ll plan the set-up. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Space, access and the venue
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue

Common questions in Compton
Do you cater in villages like Compton?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary and St Nicholas?
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. Tell us where the reception will be.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not usually 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.
How spicy is the food?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will suggest mild options.
How much does party catering cost?
There is no fixed price list, because every party is different. Tell us your numbers and plans for a quote.
When should I book?
Early is best, but ask even if it’s soon. We’ll check availability for you.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Staff for serving and the bar
- The length of service
- Food, drinks or both
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- The date and time of the event
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. When you are ready, use our quote form.
Perfect for your party in Compton
It’s the easiest way to feed a party without being stuck in the kitchen, and guests love it.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:
- Retirement celebrations
- Street and neighbourhood parties

Families celebrating a christening at a church such as Church of St Mary and St Nicholas might carry on at a garden or hall where we can park up.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the caterer needs from your venue
- When payment is due
- What happens if it rains
- Exactly what’s included in the price
How it compares
Unlike a barbecue, there’s no waiting for the next batch, and there is no host stuck at the grill. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
