Mexican party catering near Emery Down
How our Mexican party catering works in Emery Down
You get to be a guest at your own party: no shopping, no cooking and no washing up of pans. The food is our job. For retirement and leaving parties and family get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of loaded nachos, guacamole and salsas and burritos and more.
In a small place like Emery Down, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground, and we’ll plan around it. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. A summer party in Emery Down stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, 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.

Your questions about Mexican party catering in Emery Down
Which station should guests use for Emery Down?
Guests can use Ashurst New Forest station, about 2.9 miles north-east of Emery Down.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Ensure most people can sit to eat
- Warn the neighbours about the truck
- Give separate numbers for children
If it rains, we can still serve from the truck or trailer, though guests will want cover to eat under.
Simple quesadillas for children.

Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether you need disposables
- Guest numbers
- Timings and hours
- Your choice of food and drinks
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The venue or postcode
- Your menu ideas
Send us the date, your venue or SO43 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, tell us about it on our contact page.
Space, access and the venue
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- A quick photo of the access helps us plan
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
