Mexican catering for Cotman's Ash events
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests help themselves.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas.
How our Mexican catering works in Cotman's Ash
Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so tell us your numbers. Popular choices include a build-your-own taco bar, tacos and burritos, and it suits charity and school events and company summer parties.
Somewhere as small as Cotman's Ash, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, let us know and we will adjust where we can. Evenings in Cotman's Ash stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm. Festoon lights or floodlights help once it gets dark.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
How to prepare
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
A cold buffet is simple but tends to sit out for hours. Tacos and burritos are made to order and served hot. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
What we offer in Cotman's Ash
- Allergen information for every dish
