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, and handles allergen information for you.

Mexican street food in St Mary's, served fresh
Festivals can be bigger than our usual 50 to 400 guests, so tell us expected visitor numbers and trading hours and we’ll plan around them. It works well for festivals and food markets, with quesadillas, burrito bowls and tacos.
Events near St Mary's are often volunteer-run, so we agree pitch, access and power with the organiser in advance. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Questions from St Mary's
Could you serve in Houndwell Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Can you trade at a school fair in St Mary's?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Can you bring margaritas?
Our drinks bar can be added where the event’s licensing allows. Licensing is checked with you first.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
- The event’s site rules and timings
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
