Wedding Mexican catering in Bowmans
Wedding Mexican catering in Bowmans, served fresh
A taco bar at a wedding feels relaxed and generous. Everyone fills their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, and the queue becomes a chance to chat. It suits civil partnerships and vow renewals and parties after a register office wedding, with fresh guacamole and salsas, loaded nachos and burrito bowls.
Weddings in a place like Bowmans often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. A truck or trailer parked by the marquee fits right in. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Plan a covered area for eating in case of rain
For a taco bar, fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests come up table by table if you like.
Include your suppliers in the numbers if you add them to the final count.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Bowmans: your questions answered
Is it possible to have you in Dartford Heath?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Barnabas?
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’ll check the access.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Bowmans.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Organising for someone else?
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll let you know if it is a good fit.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
