Mexican party catering for Risinghurst events
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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.

Taco bars are made for parties: everyone builds their own tacos from the fillings and toppings, so everybody gets what they like. On the menu are guacamole and salsas, a build-your-own taco bar and burritos, and it’s a good fit for milestone birthdays and housewarmings.

Your questions about Mexican party catering in Risinghurst
Which station is closest to Risinghurst?
Guests can use Oxford station, about 3.5 miles west of Risinghurst.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Parish Church of St Mary?
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.
What will our party cost?
We don’t publish set prices, because every party is different. Tell us your numbers and plans for a quote.

A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
How far ahead should we book?

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