DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Common questions in Capel-le-Ferne
Is Capel-le-Ferne close to London?
It’s about 63 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Could you serve in East Cliff and Warren Country Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service generally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How much is a taco bar?
Every taco bar is quoted for individually, depending on guests, menu, venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
