DIY taco night or a caterer?
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.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.

Some planning tips for the drinks:
- Give the council notice in good time for a Temporary Event Notice
- Have plenty of water available
- Let us know how many non-drinkers to expect
- Think about how guests get home
