DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests. To get it right:
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
We work around your timings, and adapt if they move.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter.
