How our Mexican catering works in Ewell Minnis
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, while the salsas and guacamole are made fresh. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. It works well for fundraisers and school events and garden parties, with burritos, burrito bowls and quesadillas.
In a small place like Ewell Minnis, events are normally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

What Mexican catering costs
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- What the venue already provides
- Parking and the route in
- Serving staff
- How long we’re needed on site
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many adults and children
