Mexican catering in Godinton
How our Mexican catering works in Godinton
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too, with licensing checked with you. On the menu are a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and guacamole and burrito bowls, and it suits wedding breakfasts and evening food and garden parties.
In and around Godinton, gardens and local halls are common choices. If access is tight or the ground is soft, we will plan around it. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Common questions in Godinton
Which station should guests use for Godinton?
The closest is Ashford International station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Is it possible to have you in Ashford Warren and Hoads Wood?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.

Tacos and taco bars, plus burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. Our sample menu has more detail.
What does Mexican catering cost?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a quote.

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we’ll keep their options separate.

Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.

Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
