A town like East Grinstead gives you plenty of options: a drive, a club, a hall or a hired venue. We will agree where we park beforehand. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer.

Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests help themselves while we keep it topped up.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
Who books Mexican catering in East Grinstead?
It handles mixed diets without fuss, because guests choose their own fillings and toppings. Vegetarian and vegan guests get a proper meal, not an afterthought.
