DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.

Durfold Wood: your questions answered
How far is Durfold Wood from London?
It is about 35 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you come to events in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t typically stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground, access for the truck or trailer and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water when you book.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will suggest the best set-up.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
