Your questions about Mexican catering in Tapnage
Do you cater in villages like Tapnage?
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.
What’s the nearest station to Tapnage for guests?
Guests can use Swanwick station, about 2.4 miles south-west of Tapnage.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Can you keep it mild?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will check the licensing with you.
Can you serve in bad weather?
We can still serve in the rain. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
About the menu
Burritos and burrito bowls
A burrito is a meal in one. Bowls suit guests who want to skip the tortilla.
Loaded nachos
Crisp tortilla chips loaded with toppings, salsa and guacamole, made for sharing.
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
We arrive early enough to set up calmly. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters, because they’re simple.
Mexican catering or something else?
For food that feels relaxed but generous, a taco bar or a menu of tacos, burritos and nachos is hard to beat. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
