Mexican catering in Marley
Should I do it myself?
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.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Mexican catering for your event in Marley
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. It works well for garden parties and company summer parties, with a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and loaded nachos.
In a small place like Marley, events are typically 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. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Comparing your options
Burgers and pizza are what guests often expect. Mexican street food stands out, while still being easy food most people enjoy. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
