Take a look at how we price and what Mexican catering costs.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Guest numbers
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many staff you need
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and when you want service to start
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

Planning for every diet

- Agree waste arrangements with traders
We set up at the agreed time.
Catering for crew and hospitality areas.
Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.

How the day works
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Christmas markets in Boughton Lees trade in the dark from about 3:50pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:15pm.
