Serving alcohol at events needs a licence: either the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We check the licensing with you before the day. At big birthday celebrations and end-of-year and Christmas parties, we will put together a menu of aguas frescas, horchata and alcohol-free drinks.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
