DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
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. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Guest numbers
- Food, drinks or both
- Whether you need disposables
- The length of service
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Your questions about food truck hire in Carterton
We’re having a ceremony at St John the Evangelist: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How far is Carterton from central London?
Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
That depends on your timings and the event. As a guide, it’s around 50 to 400 guests.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. We offer dairy-free options, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
A DIY barbecue keeps a host at the grill. Hire the truck and the cooking is ours. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
