Mexican catering in Hammerpot
Should I do it myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
How our Mexican catering works in Hammerpot
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. It works well for festivals, fairs and markets and charity and school events, serving burrito bowls, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a rural place like Hammerpot, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests. To get it right:
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start or as a late snack.
