Calbourne questions
Do you cater at coastal events near Calbourne?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Will you travel to a small place like Calbourne?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Do you give allergen information?
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. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will talk licensing through with you.

Space, access and the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
For somewhere as remote as Calbourne, early notice helps us plan the trip, the route in and power.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Should I do it myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
Comparing your options
Some street food is slow to serve one order at a time. With fillings prepared ahead, service is fast. There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
