Mexican catering for your event in Painter's Forstal
Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so nobody ends up with something they don’t want. On the menu are tacos, burritos and quesadillas, which works well for charity and school events and office lunches and team days.
In a hamlet or village like Painter's Forstal, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.
