Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. 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. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- A spot away from neighbours’ windows if the bar runs late
- Level, firm ground for the bar set-up
Out-of-the-way places like Nettlestone take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
