That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.

Can we have margaritas at our party?
Yes, our Mexican drinks bar can be added, with alcohol-free choices too. Licensing is checked with you and the venue.
Can guests build their own tacos?

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work. What matters most:
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
Out-of-the-way places like Downend take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
