Mexican catering in Pett, served fresh
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. Popular choices include burrito bowls, fresh salsas and guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar, and it is a good fit for staff parties and office lunches and fairs and festivals.

Questions from Pett

Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you cater for children?

Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.

Do you do a drinks bar?
You can add our drinks bar, with bar staff serving margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We will go through the licensing with you before the day.
Why choose Mexican catering in Pett?
Food is cooked to order and served hot, rather than sitting out on a buffet table.

- Milestone birthdays
- Summer garden parties
- Festivals, fairs and markets
- Family celebrations
Close to Pett are historic houses such as Lamb House (4.7 miles north-east). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before you book one.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
