How it compares

Compared with a barbecue, a food truck serves steadily from the start, and there is no host stuck at the grill. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican party catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.

How our Mexican party catering works in Merstone

Mexican street food is made for relaxed parties: easy to eat with one hand, so guests can keep chatting. On the menu are guacamole and salsas, burritos and loaded nachos, which works well for neighbourhood celebrations and naming days and christenings.

A country party near Merstone is a good fit for street food: served fresh from the hatch in a garden or field. Plan a gazebo for guests in case of rain. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Organising for someone else?

Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we will let you know if it is a good fit.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

Should I do it myself?

Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.

How the day works

We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you are unsure. A party in Merstone in late May has daylight until about 8:55pm. Once dusk falls, some garden lighting by the truck makes ordering easier.

Send us your date, where the party is, numbers and dietary needs.
You get a sample menu and a quote for your party.
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.

Staff for serving and the bar

When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.

Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
Gate widths, slopes and the ground
Expected numbers
Where the event is

Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll send you a clear quote.

Perfect for your party in Merstone

Every plate goes out hot, even when the party is outdoors.

Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Typical bookings include:

Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers
Leaving dos and retirements
Garden parties
Engagement and anniversary parties

Around Merstone, historic houses include Arreton Manor (1.1 miles north) and Haseley Manor (1.3 miles 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.
