Mexican catering in Potter's Forstal, from our truck or trailer
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. We warm the tortillas as each order goes out. It works well for company summer parties and christenings and family parties, with fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and quesadillas.
Somewhere as small as Potter's Forstal, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Potter's Forstal questions
Will you travel to a small place like Potter's Forstal?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
How far is Potter's Forstal from central London?
It is about 41 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
How much does Mexican catering cost in Potter's Forstal?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
What food do you serve?
Tacos and taco bars, plus burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. Our sample menu has more detail.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Should I do it myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
