Near Netley Marsh, a drinks bar suits gardens, barns and marquees, given access. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.

Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food.

That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Can we have the bar on its own?

Do you check ages at the bar?
