DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
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 will do the serving.
Why choose Mexican bar hire in Swalecliffe?
Wine and fizz are the usual choices. Margaritas and Mexican beer feel more relaxed. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
