DIY taco night versus 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.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Mexican bar hire or something else?
DIY bars leave you handling licensing and staffing. We will talk licensing through with you and bring bar staff. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
What you get with us
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- Fast service, even with a queue
- A quote that sets out what’s included
