What else we do in Shalden Green
Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
What’s on the menu
Loaded nachos
Loaded nachos are perfect for sharing, whether as a starter or a late bite. We can plan a dairy-free version.
Tacos
Soft tortillas, warmed and filled, topped with salsa and fresh toppings. Fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms are agreed with you.
Catering for every guest
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
- Count children separately
- Let us know about any other food at the event
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch, so guests can check before they order.
Add our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
