About our Mexican party catering in Thakeham
A build-your-own taco bar is ideal for a party: guests fill their own tortillas from fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings, so everybody gets what they like. For retirement and leaving parties and christenings and naming days, we will put together a menu of quesadillas, a build-your-own taco bar and burritos for your guests.
Near Thakeham, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access and soft ground, and we’ll plan the set-up. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

Questions from Thakeham
Is Thakeham close to London?
About 41 miles from central London.
Do you cater in villages like Thakeham?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How much does Mexican party catering cost in Thakeham?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Do you cater for children?
Of course. Children generally enjoy quesadillas and simple tacos, and salsas go on the side. Include children in your numbers.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan where rubbish goes
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Plan a vegan filling alongside the others
- Have enough chairs for most guests
Children love watching their food being made, and quesadillas are a safe bet.
Loaded nachos to share as a starter.
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Send a photo of the spot so we can check
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
What happens on the day
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. At midsummer, it is light in Thakeham until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- It starts with your date, the address, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We check the space and access for the truck or trailer.
- On the day we set up and serve hot food at the time you choose.
- We pack down after service so the party can carry on.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
