DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.

The process
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We’re ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. In Upper Hardres, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit serving area.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, plus any documents the site needs from caterers.
- We agree access, parking, power and water with facilities.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve at the agreed time.
- After service, we clear our area and leave it tidy.
How to prepare
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park

Common questions in Upper Hardres
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Will you travel to a small place like Upper Hardres?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
We can. Tell us your numbers and how long the break is, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can you cater for all our staff’s diets?
Yes. We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish.
Do you work in winter?
Yes, we can serve from the truck or trailer in winter, as long as guests have somewhere warm and covered to eat.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.

What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

How we price corporate Mexican catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- The menu you choose
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Food, drinks or both
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
