DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.

Mexican catering for your event in Nettlebed
We plan each menu with the client, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. At anniversaries and engagements and festivals, fairs and markets, we will put together a menu of fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and loaded nachos.
For a rural spot like Nettlebed, fields and drives need a little planning: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Diets, allergies and planning
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
