DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Mexican catering in Sherborne St John, served fresh
Mixed diets are easy to plan with Mexican street food. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. It suits christenings and family parties and festivals, fairs and markets, serving quesadillas, tacos and burrito bowls.
In a hamlet or village like Sherborne St John, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
