Mexican catering in Whetsted, served fresh

Somewhere as small as Whetsted, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. In Whetsted, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
