DIY taco night versus a caterer
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. Our taco bar guide explains how.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Weddings in Roughdown: venues, ceremonies and travel
Roughdown is about 3 miles south of Hythe, in Hampshire. For wedding Mexican catering in Roughdown, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access in and around Roughdown. We cover 683 places in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater right across the region, from Roughdown to Southampton (7 miles away).
It helps to add rail details to the invitations, as the nearest station is Netley station, about 4.3 miles north-east. With a ceremony at a church such as The Good Shepherd, the simplest plan is a reception close by, so guests aren’t travelling far before they eat. We can set up while the photos are taken. With the New Forest National Park within about 3 miles, there are country venues, barns and gardens nearby. Ask your venue about vehicle access and ground conditions for a truck or trailer. The sea is within about 5 miles, close enough for a coastal wedding. Coastal wind, sand and seafront access all need planning for a truck or trailer.

Questions from Roughdown
Do you come to events in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you serve near the sea around Roughdown?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
