Tell us where we can park and unload. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Taco bar hire or something else?
Compared with a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar caters for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free guests from one table. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
