Mexican Catering for Festivals & Events

Over two decades of experience delivering professional & reliable, high-volume catering at music festivals and sporting events across the UK.

We cater music festivals and large-scale events of every size and style across the UK and Ireland. Mexican festival catering forms the core of our business throughout the summer season, with menus built around high-quality, freshly prepared, healthy food.

All of our dishes are prepared fresh on-site each weekend using whole-food ingredients, fresh produce, and our own unique spice mixes. We offer one of the widest selections of burritos, nachos and chillies on the circuit with options for meat eaters and vegans and most allergies or intolerances.

Over the last 25 years we’ve catered more than 700 festivals and events. We deliver a mouth-watering food experience that event organisers and their customers can rely on. No matter the weather, we come prepared to serve great food at scale.
