DIY taco night versus a caterer

For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.

How the day works

We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. A hired food truck at a summer event in Cowfold can serve in daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:05pm. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.

Ask us whether your date is available.
You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
We pack down and drive away when service ends.

Preparing for the day

Share the running order, including any speeches

Comparing your options

A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At a festival we trade to the public; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
