Mexican catering in Cranbrook Common, served fresh
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish. It suits wedding breakfasts and evening food and leaving dos and retirement parties, with loaded nachos, tacos and burrito bowls.
For a rural spot like Cranbrook Common, fields and drives need a little planning: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so it’s hot when it reaches them.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added from our drinks bar.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
