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.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Tips for a smooth bar
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Allow time for a Temporary Event Notice if one is needed
- Check allergies with guests, including for drinks
- Let us know how many non-drinkers to expect
- Tell us when the bar should open and close
We arrive in good time to set up the bar, so drinks are ready when you are.
