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.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
How we price Mexican bar hire
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many staff you need
- What’s on the menu
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Distance and access to the venue
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and when you want service to start
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, use our quote form.

We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.

We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.

How it works
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. A summer drinks reception in Thorns Beach has daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. By late September, sunset is about 7:10pm, and in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting around the bar.
