Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.

Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Plan access routes for trader vehicles
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Ensure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
At the end, we clear the pitch and leave it clean.
