Mexican street food in Hunters Forstal, served fresh
One Mexican trader covers several diets: there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas. That helps organisers balance the line-up. It suits food and music festivals and outdoor screenings, serving loaded nachos, tacos and vegan tacos.
At a field event near Hunters Forstal, power and water may be limited; let us know and we will confirm the arrangements. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
