Mexican catering for your event in Grafty Green
Mixed diets are easy to plan with Mexican street food. 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. We serve burritos, loaded nachos and quesadillas, and it is a good fit for fundraisers and school events and family gatherings and christenings.
In a small place like Grafty Green, events are generally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
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. Read our guide to taco bars.
About the menu
Burritos and burrito bowls
Burritos are filling and easy to eat on the move. Bowls suit guests who want to skip the tortilla.
Tacos
Warm tortillas with a choice of fillings, finished with salsas and toppings. Fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms are agreed with you.

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Nicholas?

How does your Mexican catering work?
Our truck or trailer is a mobile kitchen. We set up, serve your guests and clear away when service ends.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will go through the licensing with you.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
What food do you serve?

Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away, leaving the space as we found it.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas.
