Mexican party catering for your party in Hammerpot

Mexican party catering means no cooking for you and no formal dinner either. We park our food truck or trailer and serve hot food while your guests chat. Popular choices include a build-your-own taco bar, tacos and burritos, which works well for baby celebrations and exam-results parties.

Country parties near Hammerpot suit a food truck or trailer: parked up on firm ground and serving from the hatch. Have a covered area ready in case of rain. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Is Mexican party catering right for your party?

Unlike a barbecue, there’s no waiting for the next batch, and nobody is stuck at the grill. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.

Why us?

  • Allergen information for everything we serve
  • Menus for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
  • Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
  • Access, space and power checked in advance

Read our prices page or the cost guide.

Working with your venue

For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.

Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will let you know if it’s a good fit.

Should I do it myself?

You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.

Hammerpot: your questions answered

We are having a ceremony at The Parish Church of St Margaret: can you cater afterwards?

Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.

Is Hammerpot close to London?

Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London.

What areas do you cover?

We cover London and the South East, West Sussex included. Find your area.

When do you arrive?

We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.

Do you have options for kids?

Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.

Do you have gluten-free options?

Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?

How early should we book?

The sooner the better, but it is always worth asking. Send your date and we’ll check.

Can you run a bar?

Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. For alcohol, we will talk licensing through with you and your venue.

Planning help

Planning for every diet

A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:

  • Tell us how many children are coming
  • Put out bins for general waste and recycling
  • Ask guests with serious allergies to talk to us first
  • Ensure there’s a vegan option

We are set up before guests arrive.

Simple quesadillas for children.

What we need at the venue

Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:

  • A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
  • Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
  • A photo of the drive or garden helps us check the space

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
