In Newington Green, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Public spaces and road closures usually need council permission, and we will provide what the organiser asks for from us. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
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.
