Mexican catering in Newtown
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Include at least one vegan filling
Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so everything goes out hot.
Add our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
About our Mexican catering in Newtown
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish. At wedding breakfasts and evening food and garden parties, we can serve loaded nachos, quesadillas and a build-your-own taco bar and more.
For a place the size of Newtown, your own garden or drive is often the best venue: no venue hire, and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Tell us about access down the lane or drive. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- The length of service
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- The number of people
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Where the event is
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers

- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What happens on the day

A December event in Newtown will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.

- You get a suggested menu, with fillings agreed with you, and a quote.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
