Mexican catering for Upper Farringdon events
Mexican catering in Upper Farringdon, served fresh
We plan each menu with the client, so fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. It works well for fairs and festivals and garden get-togethers, serving tacos, burrito bowls and burritos.
In a rural place like Upper Farringdon, access is the main thing to plan: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, and needs a suitable spot, safe access and the venue’s agreement. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
