- You get a sample menu and a quote for your party.
- We check the space and access for the truck or trailer.

Planning for every diet

If it rains, we can still serve from the truck or trailer, though guests will want cover to eat under.

Common questions in Orpington
What’s the nearest station to Orpington for guests?
St Mary Cray station, about 0.7 miles north of the centre.
Where would you park in Orpington?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
When should I book?
The sooner the better, but it is always worth asking. Send your date and we will check.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Do you have vegan options?
Vegetarian and vegan fillings are cooked and served separately, and every dish is labelled. Ask anyone with a severe allergy to speak to us first.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
What Mexican party catering costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Serving staff
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- What the venue already provides
- The menu you choose
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The address or venue name
- Your menu ideas
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. Contact us for a quote: just tell us about it on our contact page.
Planning the serving area
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- A quick photo of the access helps us plan
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
London streets around Orpington can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
Is Mexican party catering right for your party?
Unlike a barbecue, there’s no waiting for the next batch, and nobody is stuck at the grill. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.
