Mexican party catering in Rooksdown
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space for guests to queue
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
Mexican party catering in Rooksdown, from our truck or trailer
You get to be a guest at your own party: no shopping, no prep and no hours in the kitchen. We take care of the food. Popular choices include guacamole and salsas, tacos and burritos, and it suits housewarmings and street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers.
In a place like Rooksdown, a garden party is normally the easiest option. Let us know how the truck or trailer can reach the garden, and we will plan the rest. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Rooksdown: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at The Good Shepherd?
Yes. The church itself is not 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’ll check the access.
How far is Rooksdown from London?
About 47 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Normally. We need a suitable spot outside and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book.
Can you serve from my drive or garden?
Often, yes, if there is level, firm ground and access wide and high enough for the truck or trailer. Send a photo and we’ll check.
Can you supply plates?
Tell us what you need and we’ll explain the options with your quote.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Plan a vegan filling alongside the others
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Check the width of your gate or drive
- Have enough chairs for most guests
We arrive before your guests to set up, so food is ready when you want it.
