DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
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.
How our Mexican party catering works in Ryde
Add our drinks bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with soft drinks and alcohol-free choices too. We will talk licensing through with you. For leaving dos and retirements and engagement and anniversary parties, we will put together a menu of loaded nachos, guacamole and salsas and tacos for your guests.
Birthdays and summer parties in Ryde often happen at home or in a local hall. A food truck can work at either, given drive access and a level spot. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

What affects the price in Ryde
These are the factors that matter most:
- Serving staff
- Distance and access to the venue
- The number of people
- How long we’re needed on site
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- What you’d like on the menu
- The date and rough timings
- A picture of where we’d park
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, fill in our quote form.
Planning the serving area
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- A quick photo of the access helps us plan
For somewhere as remote as Ryde, early notice helps us plan the trip, the route in and power.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How it works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. In Ryde, it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but dark by about 4:00pm in December, so autumn and winter parties need more thought about lighting.

- We put a menu together and quote for it.
- Before the day, we check the space, the way in, power and water.
- On the day, we arrive, set up and start serving at the agreed time.
