Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
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.
Food truck hire for your event in Botley
Food truck hire means our truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it’s a private hire, so the menu and timings are set around your event. Popular choices include tacos from the hatch, burrito bowls and quesadillas, and it suits private outdoor parties and milestone birthdays.
Hire our food truck for an event near Botley and the kitchen comes with it; we just need level ground, access and the venue’s permission. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
For event organisers in Botley
