Mexican party catering or something else?
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Tacos cover everyone with separate fillings. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

Planning help
DIY taco night versus 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. Our taco bar guide explains how.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Questions from Blackbird Leys
