FAQs for Catherington
Is Catherington close to London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes. The church itself is not 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 will check the access.
What’s on the menu?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Do you cater for big events?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Bigger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case.
What does Mexican catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.

Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.
How our Mexican catering works in Catherington
The menu starts with tacos: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. Burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas can sit alongside them. It works well for summer garden parties and birthday parties, serving burritos, loaded nachos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
Somewhere like Catherington, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
