Mexican catering for your event in Cowesfield Gate
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. On the menu are fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and a build-your-own taco bar, and it suits wedding breakfasts and evening food and milestone birthdays.

Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
