Mexican catering for your event in Hamstreet
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so each plate is exactly how they like it. On the menu are quesadillas, burrito bowls and loaded nachos, and it suits fundraisers and school events and family celebrations.
In a small place like Hamstreet, events are usually in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
What’s on the menu
Quesadillas
Toasted tortillas with melted cheese inside, cut into wedges.
Burritos and burrito bowls
A burrito is a meal in one. The bowl version suits anyone avoiding tortillas.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
