Mexican party catering for your party in Ratley
Mexican party catering means no cooking for you and no formal dinner either. We park our food truck or trailer and serve hot food while your guests chat. It works well for big birthdays and baby celebrations, serving guacamole and salsas, tacos and loaded nachos.
Country parties near Ratley suit a food truck or trailer: parked up on firm ground and serving from the hatch. Have a covered area ready in case of rain. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Ratley questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Peter Ad Vincula?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you cater in villages like Ratley?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will recommend how to serve.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Most children enjoy it, particularly quesadillas. Tell us how many children and their ages.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, for instance a supply from the venue, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
