Every menu is agreed with you, so fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. For anniversaries and engagements and fairs and festivals, we will put together a menu of fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and tacos and more.
From a hired hall to a shared courtyard, events in Longlands come in all shapes. Tell us how close we can park, and about any height barriers or narrow entrances. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
