Mexican party catering in New Pound
Mexican party catering in New Pound, from our truck or trailer
Mexican street food is made for relaxed parties: easy to eat while you mingle. On the menu are quesadillas, burritos and a build-your-own taco bar, and it suits christenings and naming days and anniversaries and engagement parties.
A country party near New Pound is a good fit for street food: parked up on firm ground and serving from the hatch. Plan a gazebo for guests in case of rain. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
What Mexican party catering costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- What’s on the menu
- The number of people
- Food, drinks or both
- What the venue already provides
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- What you’d like on the menu
- The date and rough timings
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. A party in New Pound in late May has daylight until about 8:50pm. Once dusk falls, some garden lighting by the truck makes ordering easier.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose fillings, sides and extras.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- We serve hot food at the time you choose.
- We pack away and the party carries on.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Questions from New Pound
We’re having a ceremony at St Lawrence's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
How far is New Pound from London?
About 25 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
When should I book?
Early is best, but ask even if it is soon. We’ll check availability for you.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Catering for every guest
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Warn the neighbours about the truck
- Count adults and children separately
- Put severe allergies to us in writing
- Plan where rubbish goes
Rain does not stop the hatch, though guests will want cover to eat under.
Loaded nachos to share as a starter.
Before you choose a spot
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
