About the menu

Fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings laid out for guests to help themselves, with warm tortillas to fill. Everyone builds their own.

Mexican catering in Basted, 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 each plate is exactly how they like it. For staff parties and office lunches and milestone birthdays, we will put together a menu of quesadillas, burrito bowls and tacos for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Basted, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Can I do a taco night myself?
