Can I do a taco night myself?
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. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

What affects the price in Lower Dicker
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- The number of people

Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
