About our Mexican party catering in Newtown
We cater parties at homes, village halls with outdoor space, clubs and hired venues. Tell us where the party is and we will check the access. Popular choices include tacos, burritos and guacamole and salsas, and it suits christenings and naming days and exam-results parties.
In a place like Newtown, a garden party is normally the easiest option. Let us know how the truck or trailer can reach the garden, and we will plan the rest. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- The length of service
- Parking and the route in
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
FAQs for Newtown
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Which station should guests use for Newtown?
Guests can use Ashford International station, about 0.9 miles north of Newtown.
Do we need to provide plates?
Tell us what you need and we’ll explain the options with your quote.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
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.
Should I do it myself?
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. Read our guide to taco bars.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

Mexican party catering or something else?
Pizza vans are popular, but most parties have had one. Tacos and nachos feel a little different. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
