Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
The process
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. A summer drinks reception in Chiddingly has daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. In late September it’s dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 3:55pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- We check availability.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Find out what power and water are available
