Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one

- Tell us what other food is being served
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area quietly.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added from our drinks bar, with licensing checked with you.
Mexican catering in Preston, served fresh
Keep it simple or go further: a taco menu, or tacos plus loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls. Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can come from our drinks bar. Popular choices include tacos, burrito bowls and loaded nachos, and it suits engagement and anniversary parties and big birthday celebrations.
In and around Preston, gardens and local halls are common choices. If the road in is narrow or the ground is soft, tell us so we can plan for the truck or trailer. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Preston questions
Could you serve our guests after a service at St John the Evangelist's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Which station should guests use for Preston?
Preston has its own station: Preston Park station.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Brighton and Hove included. See all areas.
Do you do a drinks bar?
We can. Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Licensing is checked with you first.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give 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 does Mexican catering cost?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a quote.
About the menu
Quesadillas
A quesadilla is an easy favourite.
Salsas and guacamole
Guacamole and salsas, freshly made.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Mexican catering or something else?
A barbecue often means a host tied to the grill. Book us and the cooking happens in our food truck or trailer. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.

By road, Preston is on or near the A23, which makes it easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. For guests coming by train, Preston has its own station, Preston Park station. The South Downs National Park is within about 6 miles of Preston, with country venues and gardens that can suit a food truck. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about vehicles and catering, so check with yours. Coastal events near Preston, which is within about 2 miles of the sea, bring wind and sand into the planning. Tell us exactly where you’d like us and we’ll check access.
Anywhere in BN1, BN3 and BN88, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Home Road, Bates Road and Loder Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park.

How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. In Preston, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Give us your final numbers and diets
