By late September, sunset in Old Netley comes at roughly 7:10pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:55pm.

Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.

Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.

As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.

Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
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.
