There may be a hall or club near Picket Piece if your garden is small; a truck or trailer can work at any of them, with permission and a level spot. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How long we are needed on site
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- How many staff you need
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Expected numbers
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
- The address or venue name
Still deciding on the menu? That’s fine: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll make suggestions. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
