How our Mexican party catering works in Nettlestone
Mexican street food suits birthdays, garden parties and all kinds of celebrations. Guests gather round the truck or trailer, and the food comes out hot. Popular choices include tacos, guacamole and salsas and loaded nachos, and it suits graduation celebrations and housewarming parties.
Country parties near Nettlestone suit a food truck or trailer: served fresh from the hatch in a garden or field. Plan a gazebo for guests in case of rain. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. At midsummer, it is light in Nettlestone until about 9:20pm, 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.

Why choose Mexican party catering in Nettlestone?
A home-made buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Tacos and burritos are served hot, order by order. There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican party catering. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
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’ll do the serving.
