About our Mexican catering in Pilley
Mixed diets are easy to plan with Mexican street food. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish. It suits school fairs and fundraisers and engagement and anniversary parties, with burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas.
In a hamlet or village like Pilley, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.

Occasions we cater for in Pilley

A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Typical bookings include:
