DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

It’s about 54 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.

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