Mexican catering for The Hangers events
About our Mexican catering in The Hangers
Tacos are the heart of the menu: warm tortillas with your choice of fillings, plus fresh salsas, guacamole and toppings. We can add burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. Popular choices include fresh salsas and guacamole, burrito bowls and loaded nachos, and it is a good fit for office lunches and team days and festivals, fairs and markets.
In a hamlet or village like The Hangers, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To make it work smoothly:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Count children separately
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so everything goes out hot.
Add our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
