Can I do a taco night myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

Step by step
Here’s how the day generally runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. In Gatcombe, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
