For planners, venues and organisers
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
Mexican catering in Uplees, served fresh
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: a taco menu, or tacos plus loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too. Popular choices include a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and loaded nachos, and it suits fairs and festivals and milestone birthdays.
For a rural spot like Uplees, 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 plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- What’s on the menu
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Guest numbers
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- What you’d like on the menu
- The address or venue name
- The date and rough timings
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
The quickest way to a quote is to tell us about it on our contact page. Tell us about your event in Uplees, and we’ll suggest a menu to suit.
Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
