How our Mexican catering works in Cowplain
We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. We warm the tortillas as each order goes out. For garden parties and engagement and anniversary parties, we can serve fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and burrito bowls.
There may be a hall or club near Cowplain if your garden is small; any can work, given permission and level ground to park on. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
How we price Mexican catering
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Serving staff
- What the venue already provides
- Distance and access to the venue
- Food, drinks or both
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
- What you’d like on the menu
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
