Mexican catering in Balscote
Mexican catering in Balscote, served fresh
Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so nobody ends up with something they do not want. It suits school fairs and fundraisers and wedding breakfasts and evening food, serving tacos, loaded nachos and a build-your-own taco bar.
In a rural place like Balscote, access is the main thing to plan: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
