About our Mexican catering in South Nutfield
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so nobody ends up with something they don’t want. It suits weddings, day or evening and anniversaries and engagements, serving tacos, burrito bowls and quesadillas.
For a rural spot like South Nutfield, fields and drives need a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a space will not work. What matters most:
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What happens on the day
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you are unsure. Planning an evening event in South Nutfield? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September.

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
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. Our taco bar guide explains how.

How it compares
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, because fillings and toppings are kept separate. There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
