How our Mexican party catering works in Cross-at-Hand
A Mexican party takes the food off your hands without turning the day into a formal dinner. Our truck or trailer parks up and we serve hot food as the party goes on. On the menu are a build-your-own taco bar, tacos and guacamole and salsas, and it suits new-home celebrations and christenings and naming days.
Near Cross-at-Hand, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground, and we will plan around it. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

DIY taco night or a caterer?

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
How it works
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. A summer party in Cross-at-Hand stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- We start by checking your date and the space.
- You choose fillings, sides and extras.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- Service starts at the agreed time.
