About our wedding Mexican catering in Elham

Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.

Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours

- A serving spot close to the marquee or reception area
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What wedding Mexican catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Food, drinks or both
- What the venue already provides
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Distance and access to the venue
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- The date and rough timings
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Include suppliers who need feeding
- Think about a covered space for wet weather
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
For a taco bar, fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests can be called up by table.
