Planning an event in Pains-Hill?
Mexican catering for your event in Pains-Hill
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. For weddings, day or evening and leaving parties, we can serve loaded nachos, burrito bowls and quesadillas.
In a hamlet or village like Pains-Hill, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
How it compares
Platters dropped off in the morning are easy but forgettable. Hot food served from a truck feels like part of the event. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch, and guests are welcome to ask before ordering.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we’ll confirm what’s possible with your quote.

Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will come back with a clear quote.
Planners, venues and businesses
