Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Share your running order
At the end of service, we close the hatch and pack down, leaving our spot tidy.
Simple quesadillas suit younger guests, if you’d like a kids’ choice.
Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
