Your questions about Mexican party catering in Sandford
We are having a ceremony at All Saints' Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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.
Do you cater in villages like Sandford?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Do you cater at halls and clubs?
Normally. We need a suitable spot outside and the venue’s permission.
How much does party catering cost?
There is no fixed price list, as each party is different. Send your details and we will send a quote.

What we need at the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
Out-of-the-way places like Sandford take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
What happens on the day
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not usually stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. In Sandford, it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but dark by about 4:00pm in December, so the time of year shapes an evening party.
- We start by checking your date and the space.
- You pick the fillings and extras.
- We confirm power, water and the way in.
- We serve hot food at the time you choose.
- We pack away and the party carries on.
How to prepare
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
