Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
For event organisers in Steel Cross
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Planning the serving area
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
How we price Mexican party catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Timings and hours
- How many guests we are serving
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

- Approximate guest numbers, including children

Steel Cross questions
How far is Steel Cross from London?
About 32 miles from central London, and well within our area.
We are having a ceremony at The Parish Church of All Saints: can you cater afterwards?
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.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we will recommend how to serve.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
