DIY taco night versus a caterer
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To get it right:
- Choose at least one vegan filling
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
After the last plate, we take the bar down, then load our vehicle.
Ask us about plates, napkins and cutlery and we will set out the options in your quote.
