The Lightbox Café in Bridge Street, Peterborough, is playing host to a very special Mexican pop-up on Friday 23rd March.
The highly popular, licensed “modern tea room” has invited our innovative outside catering to offer customers a true taste of Latin America. BMC has recently expanded its team, with the well- known “Macho Burrito” queen Claire Morgan joining, a lady who has spent a great deal of time living and cooking in Mexico, Ecuador and Argentina.
Promising to be something rather different to the mainstream fayre, the menu will include burritos of Barbacoa beef cheek, Pollo Loco, and a Viva Vegan which will all be served with Pica de Gallo, queso, crema, jalapeno and refried beans. The burritos will be accompanied by a side of Mexican slaw with a choice of authentic Valantina hot sauce or the muy picante Valantina Black Label.
Lightbox owner Eve Warner said: “We believe this authentic cooking presents our customers a chance to try food they haven’t come across before, and priced at £12.95 per head including a glass of Prosecco, or beer/soft drink, also represents exceptional value. The BMC team will also be preparing additional starters and side dishes, while our bar team will be mixing up Latin cocktails and a special dessert/drink called a Hot Choc Shock Shot, which is Tequila, a shot of rich hot chocolate and a dusting of chilli flakes.”
The Bread Meat Cheese team of Jim and Nigel Davis and of course Claire, will be serving from 7pm. Pre-booking is required and this can be done at The Lightbox Café at 31 Bridge Street or via www.thelighboxcafe.co.uk where further information will be posted.

I met with the very friendly Jim a few months prior to my 40th birthday party to discuss a menu – and described my favourite food types, chefs and recipe books.  He came up with a mouthwatering middle eastern menu full of interesting twists and incredible ingredients.  On my birthday evening the team produced a delicious feast – the smells and flavours were incredible and it really had the wow factor.  All my guests loved the food and we’ve been eating like kings on the leftovers for a few days.

Thank you Jim, Nigel and your team for helping create such a memorable evening.  I’ve already recommended you to everyone I know!
