How our Mexican catering works in Capel-le-Ferne
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so each plate is exactly how they like it. On the menu are burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar, which works well for weddings, day or evening and family gatherings and christenings.
In a small place like Capel-le-Ferne, events are generally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.
