- You get a sample menu and a quote.

- Once service ends, we clear away.

Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- What power and water the site has
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
If timings change on the day, tell us and we will adjust.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start.
DIY taco night versus 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.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
How it compares
Pizza and burger vans are familiar choices. Tacos, burritos and nachos feel a little different. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Questions from Lower Rainham
Do you cater in villages like Lower Rainham?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Margaret?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Do you do a drinks bar?
You can add our drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we’ll check that with you.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
