DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Mexican party catering in St John's, from our truck or trailer
Birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations all suit Mexican street food. The truck or trailer is a focal point, and the food comes out hot. It works well for garden get-togethers and leaving dos and retirements, with quesadillas, tacos and loaded nachos.
Parties around St John's are often relaxed, garden-and-gazebo affairs. A taco truck on the drive fits right in, with power and water agreed beforehand. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
For planners, venues and organisers
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Common questions in St John's
Can you cater a reception after a service at St John's Church?
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 will check the access.
Which station should guests use for St John's?
Guests can use Woking station, about 1.6 miles east of St John's.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a photo of the access and the space, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Do we need to provide plates?
Tell us what you need, and we’ll set out what we can do in the quote.

How the day works
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. A summer party in St John's stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
