Mexican party catering for Coombe events

Prices and what affects them

We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:

  • Your choice of food and drinks
  • Food, drinks or both
  • Serving staff
  • The number of people

There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican party catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

What to tell us

To speed things up, tell us:

  • Your date and when you want service to start
  • Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
  • Roughly how many adults and children
  • A picture of where we’d park

Send us the date, your venue or CR0 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. Just send a quick message through our quote form.

About our Mexican party catering in Coombe

A build-your-own taco bar is ideal for a party: guests fill their own tortillas from fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings, so everybody gets what they like. At retirement celebrations and neighbourhood celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of burritos, loaded nachos and guacamole and salsas for your guests.

In Coombe, a back-garden party is the usual choice, but access can be tight. We can look at parking on a drive or out front, with permission. Parking needs planning, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Planners, venues and businesses

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Should I do it myself?

Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

Why choose Mexican party catering in Coombe?

Pizza vans are popular, but most parties have had one. A taco truck stands out. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

What we offer in Coombe

  • A menu built around your guests
  • A clear quote
  • Served fresh from our truck or trailer
  • Access, space and power checked in advance

Read our prices page and what Mexican catering costs.

Planning the serving area

Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:

  • The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
  • A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
  • A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours

Coombe is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Dietary needs and planning tips

A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:

  • Make sure most people can sit to eat
  • Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
  • Tell us about any severe allergies before the party
  • Put out bins for general waste and recycling

We have allergen details for every dish.

Bowls as an alternative to tacos.

The process

Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. A summer party in Coombe stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

  1. First, we check the date and the space.
  2. You choose fillings, sides and extras.
  3. We confirm power, water and the way in.
  4. Service starts at the agreed time.
  5. We pack away and the party carries on.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

FAQs for Coombe

Where would you park in Coombe?

That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.

Which station is closest to Coombe?

Guests can use South Croydon station, about 1 mile west of Coombe.

Can you keep it mild?

The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.

How far ahead should we book?

As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.

Do you provide drinks?

Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, 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.

Is the food suitable for children?

Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.

Do you provide plates and napkins?

Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.

Can you plan for allergies?

Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, 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.
