How our Mexican party catering works in Southcote
Homes, gardens, clubs and hired venues all work in and around Southcote. Tell us where the party is and we’ll check the access. For leaving dos and retirements and family get-togethers, we will put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, loaded nachos and tacos for your guests.
Parties around Southcote are often relaxed, garden-and-gazebo affairs. A food truck or trailer fits right in, with power and water agreed beforehand. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Questions from Southcote
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Matthew's?
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.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Calcot Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Can you supply plates?
Tell us what you need, and we will confirm what’s possible with your quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Yes. Children generally enjoy quesadillas and simple tacos, with salsas served separately. Tell us how many children are coming.
How spicy is the food?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. Sunset in Southcote ranges from about 9:25pm at midsummer to about 3:55pm in December, so the time of year shapes an evening party.
