Mexican street food for your event in Cheriton
Festivals can be bigger than our usual 50 to 400 guests, so share expected numbers and trading hours and we’ll plan stock and service. At county and country shows and seasonal and night markets, we can serve burritos, burrito bowls and quesadillas.
For a village fête or field event near Cheriton, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Planners, venues and businesses
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- The menu you choose
- Staff for serving and the bar
- How many guests we are serving
- Whether you need disposables
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- The date and rough timings
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- What power and water the site has
