Mexican party catering for your party in Upton
Mexican party catering means no cooking for you and no formal dinner either. We park our truck or trailer and serve hot food while your guests chat. Popular choices include tacos, quesadillas and loaded nachos, and it’s a good fit for anniversary celebrations and summer garden parties.
A country party near Upton is a good fit for street food: parked up on firm ground and serving from the hatch. Plan a gazebo for guests in case of rain. We prepare everything fresh for your party and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

Is Mexican party catering right for your party?
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Separate fillings cover every diet. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.
What you get with us
- Fast service, even with a queue
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- Allergen information for every dish
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both

Upton: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Upton?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St John?
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.
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, including Upton.
Is Mexican food OK for kids?
It’s popular with children, particularly quesadillas. Let us know numbers and ages.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide 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.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a quote.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Where the truck can go in Upton
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- Send a photo of the spot so we can check
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
