DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.

What we need at the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Easy access from where we unload to the table

- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
For somewhere as remote as Yaverland, early notice helps us plan the trip, the route in and power.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.

Is taco bar hire right for your event?
Pizza is the usual crowd-pleaser, but a taco bar lets every guest design their own plate. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
Why book with us
- A menu built around your guests
- Menus for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Service planned around your numbers
