Planning an event in Sheldwich Lees?
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s 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.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
How our Mexican catering works in Sheldwich Lees
Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so nobody ends up with something they do not want. For engagement and anniversary parties and garden get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of loaded nachos, a build-your-own taco bar and quesadillas.
Somewhere like Sheldwich Lees, a field or garden is often the setting. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Sit-down meals need a kitchen, tables and more staff. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
