What wedding Mexican catering costs

- Your choice of food and drinks
- How many staff you need
- Food, drinks or both
- The number of people

- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The date and rough timings
- Your menu ideas
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.

Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Tell us when the speeches will be
- Ask whether your venue allows food trucks
If speeches or photos run over, tell us, and we’ll move the serving time so the food is still hot.
We can feed your photographer and band too if you add them to the final count.
How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. By late September, sunset in Whitley Wood is around 7:05pm, which can put the evening food just after dusk. In late May it stays light until about 8:55pm.
- First, we check availability for your date.
- You choose the fillings, sides and extras.
- We confirm the plan with your venue.
- Food is served from the taco bar or the hatch.
- After serving, we clear away.

Planning help
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Before you choose a spot
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- A serving spot close to the marquee or reception area
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
