Mexican street food for Hillway events
DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
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.

Questions from Hillway
Can you trade at a school fair in Hillway?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Can you serve near the sea around Hillway?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we’ll check the licensing with you and your venue.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Do you cater in Hillway?
Yes, we do. Hillway is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what the event needs and we will send the paperwork your event asks for.
