DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s 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.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
What’s on the menu
Quesadillas
A quesadilla suits cautious eaters.
Burritos
Rice, beans, a filling and salsa wrapped in a big tortilla.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.

Planning the serving area
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- Enough width and height on the route in
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Step by step
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. Evening events in Elvetham stay light until about 9:25pm at midsummer. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.

- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
