Planning an event in Swinford?
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Mexican catering in Swinford, from our truck or trailer
We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, while the salsas and guacamole are made fresh. We warm the tortillas as each order goes out. For school fairs and fundraisers and garden parties, we’ll put together a menu of fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and loaded nachos.
In a small place like Swinford, events are generally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
