How it works
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. In December, the light goes in Fordwich at about 3:50pm, so plan where guests will gather, and how it will be lit. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:15pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- We talk through licensing with you, whether that’s the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.

- We arrive, set up and serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.

- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

Common questions in Fordwich
Do you cater at coastal events near Fordwich?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Is it possible to have you in Chequer's Wood and Old Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Do you follow the rules on serving alcohol?
Our bar staff serve responsibly: alcohol-free drinks for under-18s, with water and alcohol-free choices on hand.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
What’s on the drinks menu?
Margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We plan the list with you.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
