DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
How our food truck hire works in Darland
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It keeps things easy and relaxed for guests and hosts. It suits christenings and family parties and private parties in fields and grounds, with quesadillas, tacos from the hatch and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a hamlet or village like Darland, our food truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

The process
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you are unsure. Evening events in Darland stay light until about 9:20pm at midsummer. Once it is dark, some lighting near the hatch makes ordering easier.

- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
