DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Share vehicle access times with traders
- Put picnic tables near the traders
We keep in touch with your traders’ contact on the day on any changes.
Margaritas and Mexican beer, subject to the event’s licence.
