Mexican catering for your event in Herstmonceux

Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
The menu, item by item
Quesadillas
A quesadilla is an easy favourite, and they go down well with children.
Build-your-own taco bar
The taco bar keeps things sociable, and it makes mixed diets easy, with every dish labelled.
Prices and what affects them
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- The menu you choose
- Guest numbers
- How long we’re needed on site
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
