Mexican catering for Lower Swanwick events
Mexican catering in Lower Swanwick, served fresh
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. It suits christenings and family parties and fairs and festivals, with burrito bowls, tacos and burritos.
Somewhere as small as Lower Swanwick, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Common questions in Lower Swanwick
Do you cater in villages like Lower Swanwick?
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 Leonard?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
What are your prices?
We do not publish set prices, because every event is different. Tell us your numbers and plans and we’ll send a quote for your event.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
What’s on the menu?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria or spiced mushrooms. The sample menu shows the options.
Can you set up at our venue?
We need level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
