About our Mexican catering in Five Wents
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish. At birthday parties and garden get-togethers, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, tacos and burrito bowls for your guests.
For a rural spot like Five Wents, fields and drives need a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
What Mexican catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- What’s on the menu
- Whether you need disposables
- The number of people
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- What you’d like on the menu
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Expected numbers
Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will make suggestions. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I do it myself?
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 be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Planning the serving area
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
