How our Mexican party catering works in Crockenhill

Near Crockenhill, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access and soft ground, and we’ll plan the set-up. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
For event organisers in Crockenhill
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.

How it compares
Pizza is a familiar party choice. A taco truck stands out. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican party catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.

- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
