Mexican catering for Friern Barnet events
Mexican catering for your event in Friern Barnet
Keep it simple or go further: a taco menu, or tacos plus loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too. At fundraisers and school events and markets and community events, we will put together a menu of quesadillas, tacos and a build-your-own taco bar.
Events in Friern Barnet are often in courtyards, office forecourts, hired venues and gardens with side access. London gardens are often reached only through the house, so the truck or trailer may need to stay on a drive or the street, with permission. Send us a picture of the access. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
