DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
The menu, item by item
Horchata
Horchata is popular with all ages; ask us about allergens.
Tamarind and fruit waters
Fruit waters are a fresh alcohol-free option.
What affects the price in Kingsmead

- Expected numbers
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
What happens on the day
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. At midsummer, it’s light in Kingsmead until about 9:20pm, ideal for drinks outdoors. In late September it’s dark around 7:10pm, and in December by about 4:00pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- We talk through licensing with you, whether that is the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
- We arrive, set up and serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
- We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Share the running order, including any speeches
