About our Mexican party catering in Fords Farm
The menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, plus vegan options such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. We serve tacos, loaded nachos and burritos, and it is a good fit for neighbourhood celebrations and christenings and naming days.
Parties around Fords Farm are often relaxed, garden-and-gazebo affairs. A food truck or trailer fits right in. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
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.
How it works
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your party. Sunset in Fords Farm ranges from about 9:25pm at midsummer to about 3:55pm in December, so autumn and winter parties need more thought about lighting.
