Other catering in Norton
Your questions about Mexican party catering in Norton
Can you cater a reception after a service at St. James' Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you cater at coastal events near Norton?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
How spicy is the food?
It is up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do we need to provide plates?
Ask us when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what’s possible with your quote.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Of course. Quesadillas and simple tacos go down well with children, and salsas go on the side. Tell us how many children are coming.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
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’ll do the serving.
Space, access and the venue
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you. The main points are:
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
Norton is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey and access for the truck or trailer.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How it works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can.
