DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

Common questions in Hinton Ampner
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Is Hinton Ampner close to London?
About 55 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can we have the bar on its own?
Yes. The bar can be booked on its own, or with our Mexican catering.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do we need a licence for the bar?
It depends on the venue. Some venues have a premises licence; others need a Temporary Event Notice. We will check the licensing with you.
Will someone run the bar?
We bring bar staff.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Space, access and the venue
