Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- The number of people
- Parking and the route in
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Serving staff
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

Mexican party catering for your party in Parkgate
You get to be a guest at your own party: no shopping, no cooking and no washing up of pans. The food is our job. For naming days and christenings and street and neighbourhood parties, we can serve loaded nachos, tacos and quesadillas.
Near Parkgate, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground, and we’ll plan the set-up. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Questions from Parkgate
Which station should guests use for Parkgate?
Guests can use Holmwood station, about 2.1 miles west of Parkgate.
Could you serve in Newdigate Brickworks?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
How much does Mexican party catering cost in Parkgate?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better, but it is always worth asking. We will check availability for you.
Can you serve from my drive or garden?
Normally, if there’s firm, level ground and a way in that is wide and tall enough. Send a picture and we will check.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
How the day works
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. A party in Parkgate in late May has daylight until about 8:50pm. After that, a few lamps or fairy lights near the serving area help.
- Tell us when and where, and how many.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ensure there’s a vegan option
- Plan where rubbish goes
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Have enough chairs for most guests
If it rains, we can still serve from the truck or trailer, though guests will want cover to eat under.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
