Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. We offer dairy-free options.
Do you follow the rules on serving alcohol?
Responsible serving comes first: alcohol-free drinks for under-18s, and we offer water and alcohol-free choices throughout.
How it works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. At midsummer, it’s light in Hammer until about 9:20pm, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. In late September it is dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 4:00pm, so evening bars need lighting.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Planning the bar
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Give the council notice in good time for a Temporary Event Notice
- Serve food alongside the drinks
- Agree bar timings in advance
- Tell us how many guests are under 18
When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
A welcome margarita as guests arrive.
