Mexican party catering in Great Missenden, served fresh
A build-your-own taco bar is ideal for a party: guests fill their own tortillas from fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings, so fussy eaters and adventurous ones are both happy. On the menu are tacos, quesadillas and burritos, which works well for big birthdays and street and neighbourhood parties.
In a small place like Great Missenden, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground, and we will plan around it. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

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 photo of the drive or garden helps us check the space
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
Great Missenden questions
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
How far is Great Missenden from London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cater for special diets?
Yes. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. We give allergen information for every dish.
How early should we book?
Early, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
The process
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your party. For a winter party in Great Missenden, it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, so plan lighting where guests queue and eat. In late June, it stays light until about 9:25pm.
- Send us your date, where the party is, numbers and dietary needs.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We confirm access, parking, power and water.
- On the day, we arrive, set up and start serving at the agreed time.
- After serving, we tidy up and leave you to celebrate.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Mexican party catering or something else?
Ordering takeaway is easy but forgettable. A food truck at your party is something guests remember. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

DIY taco night or 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.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Great Missenden parties: what to know
Great Missenden is about 4 miles west of Chesham, in Buckinghamshire. Whether your party is in the middle of Great Missenden or on the outskirts, Mexican party catering works the same way: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cater in 263 places in Buckinghamshire, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Great Missenden to Reading (21 miles away).
Close to Great Missenden are historic houses such as Hughenden Manor (4.2 miles south-west) and Cholesbury Manor House (4.2 miles north-east). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on outside caterers and vehicles, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. Once the service at a church like Church of Saints Peter and Paul is over, the party can move somewhere with space for the truck and a queue. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about a mile of Great Missenden, so a garden party here may come with a lovely view. Country lanes can be narrow, so tell us about the route in.
We cover parties in every part of HP16 and the streets around it. That could mean a party at a home with a drive on High Street, London Road and Station Approach. We also serve at parties in Hunt's Green (2 miles north), Wendover Dean (2 miles north-west), Lee Gate (3 miles north), Great Hampden (3 miles west) and Kingsash (3 miles north). We also cater in nearby towns such as Aylesbury (9 miles north-west), High Wycombe (5 miles south), Chesham (4 miles east), Marlow (9 miles south), Amersham (5 miles south-east) and Beaconsfield (7 miles south).
