DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Mexican party catering in Highwood, from our truck or trailer
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. On the menu are tacos, quesadillas and loaded nachos, which works well for leaving dos and retirements and big family gatherings.
In a small place like Highwood, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access and soft ground, and we will plan around it. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. A party in Highwood in late May has daylight until about 8:55pm. Once dusk falls, some garden lighting by the truck makes ordering easier.
- It starts with your date, the address, numbers and diets.
- We put a menu together and quote for it.
- Before the day, we check the space, the way in, power and water.
- On the day we set up and serve hot food at the time you choose.
- We pack down after service so the party can carry on.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Tell us what power and water the site has

Your questions about Mexican party catering in Highwood
Will you travel to a small place like Highwood?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you come to events in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with 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.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
How much does party catering cost?
There’s no fixed price list, because every party is different. Tell us your numbers and plans for a quote.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll suggest mild options.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
