Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
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.

Great Thorness: your questions answered
Could you come to a seaside event near Great Thorness?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you come out to small places like Great Thorness?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
How does payment work for businesses?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we’ll talk it through.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Is the food very hot?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.

What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- Facilities approval and any site rules
Out-of-the-way places like Great Thorness take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
