How our Mexican party catering works in Old Coulsdon

You get to enjoy your own party: no shopping, no prep and no hours in the kitchen. We take care of the food. We serve quesadillas, a build-your-own taco bar and burritos, which works well for garden get-togethers and birthday parties.

Most parties in Old Coulsdon are in back gardens, which in London are often reached only through the house. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot out front may work, with permission. Parking needs planning, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Perfect for your party in Old Coulsdon

It feeds a crowd without anyone stuck in the kitchen, and the truck or trailer is a talking point.

A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Typical bookings include:

  • Big family gatherings
  • Garden parties
  • Exam-results parties
  • Leaving dos and retirements

Nearby historic houses include Addington Palace (5 miles north-east). A milestone birthday in a historic setting is possible, but find out early whether a food truck can get on site.

How to compare caterers

Step by step

Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our food truck or trailer, and get on with serving. In Old Coulsdon, it is light until about 9:20pm in June but dark by about 3:55pm in December, so the time of year shapes an evening party.

  1. Send us your date, where the party is, numbers and dietary needs.
  2. We suggest a menu and send a quote.
  3. Before the day, we check the space, the way in, power and water.
  4. We set up and serve tacos and more while your guests enjoy the party.
  5. After serving, we tidy up and leave you to celebrate.

Before we arrive

  • Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
  • Tell us what power and water the site has
  • Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

Before you choose a spot

Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:

Common questions in Old Coulsdon

Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St John the Evangelist?

Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.

Where would you park in Old Coulsdon?

It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.

Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?

Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.

How many guests can you serve?

That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.

Can you plan for allergies?

Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.

Can you cater in a back garden?

Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space.

What do you need at the venue?

A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.

Do you bring plates and cutlery?

We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we will talk it through.

Should I do it myself?

A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

Catering for every guest

With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:

  • Plan a covered spot for wet weather
  • Add a diet question to the invitation
  • Tell us about any severe allergies before the party
  • Plan where rubbish goes

After service, we pack away, so the party carries on.

What’s on the menu

Salsas and guacamole

Guests add as much salsa as they like.

Tacos

Tacos are easy party food. Fillings are agreed with you.

What Mexican party catering costs

Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:

  • How many staff you need
  • Parking and the route in
  • How long we’re needed on site
  • The menu you choose

The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Details that help

For a quote, it helps to have:

  • A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
  • The date and time of the event
  • Where the event is
  • What you’d like on the menu
