Your questions about Mexican party catering in Copnor
Is Copnor close to London?
It is about 63 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Alban?
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.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
How much is a taco truck for a party?
There’s no fixed price list, as each party is different. Tell us your numbers and plans for a quote.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Can you cater for special diets?
Yes. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
Mexican party catering in Copnor, served fresh
Mexican street food is made for relaxed parties: easy to eat with one hand, so guests can keep chatting and there is no need for a seating plan. It works well for retirement and leaving parties and anniversary celebrations, with tacos, a build-your-own taco bar and guacamole and salsas.
Parties around Copnor are often relaxed, garden-and-gazebo affairs. A taco truck on the drive fits right in. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

What Mexican party catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Food, drinks or both
- The length of service
- The menu you choose
- How many staff you need
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:

- Your menu ideas
- How we drive in and where we can park

From the centre of Copnor to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote.

The coast is within about 3 miles, but seafront spots need permission and firm ground for the truck or trailer.
Anywhere in PO3, PO2 and PO1, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. Whether your party is on New Road, Lynn Road and Byron Road or anywhere nearby, we can bring Mexican party catering there, given access. Being close to the A288, Copnor is easy for us to reach.

Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:

- Warn the neighbours about the truck
- Ask guests with serious allergies to talk to us first
- Plan where rubbish goes
We arrive before your guests to set up.
Simple quesadillas for children.
Planning the serving area
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
The menu, item by item
Burritos
A burrito is hearty and easy to hold.
Tacos
Soft tacos with your choice of filling, served from the hatch.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Mexican party catering or something else?
Unlike a barbecue, there is no waiting for the next batch, and nobody is stuck at the grill. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
