Comparing your options
A home-made buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Our food is cooked to order and served hot. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.
Why us?
- A menu agreed with you
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- A clear quote
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
See our pricing or the cost guide.
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s 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.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
