How our Mexican catering works in Lydd-on-Sea
The menu starts with tacos: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. We can add burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. It works well for family gatherings and christenings and markets and community events, serving a build-your-own taco bar, burritos and quesadillas.
In a hamlet or village like Lydd-on-Sea, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
Rain doesn’t stop us serving from the truck or trailer, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
If you want food that feels relaxed without being basic, a taco bar or a menu of tacos, burritos and nachos is hard to beat. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Lydd-on-Sea
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Peter's?
Yes. The church itself is not 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’ll check the access.
Do you come out to small places like Lydd-on-Sea?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.

Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a quote.
