Penton Mewsey: your questions answered
How far is Penton Mewsey from London?
About 65 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Will you travel to a small place like Penton Mewsey?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Send us a photo of the access and the space.
Can you keep it mild?
It is up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
What does Mexican catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.

What else we do in Penton Mewsey
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.

Planning the serving area
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Catering for every guest
Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included. To get it right:
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
We work around your timings, and adapt if they move.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters.
