How our Mexican party catering works in Mortimer
Many gardens and drives can take a truck or trailer, as long as the ground is firm and level and the access is wide enough. Send us a photo if you’re unsure. It works well for milestone birthdays and baby celebrations, serving a build-your-own taco bar, guacamole and salsas and loaded nachos.
In a place like Mortimer, a garden party is usually the easiest option. Let us know how the truck or trailer can reach the garden, and we’ll do the rest. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Around Mortimer, historic houses include Stratfield Saye House (3.6 miles south-east) and The Vyne (4.9 miles south).

Working with your venue
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- A quick photo of the access helps us plan
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
