Mexican party catering for Newenden events
About our Mexican party catering in Newenden
Mexican street food is made for relaxed parties: easy to eat while you mingle and there’s no need for a seating plan. For retirement celebrations and family get-togethers, we can serve burritos, a build-your-own taco bar and loaded nachos.
In a small place like Newenden, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access and soft ground, and we will plan around it. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Newenden: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Parish Church of St Peter?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Do you come out to small places like Newenden?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you serve from my drive or garden?
Typically, if there’s firm, level ground and a way in that is wide and tall enough. Send a picture and we will check.
Do you do a taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we will keep their options separate.
Is Mexican food OK for kids?
It is popular with children, particularly quesadillas. Tell us how many children and their ages.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
