DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

Common questions in Haywards Heath
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of the Presentation?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
What’s the nearest station to Haywards Heath for guests?
The closest is Haywards Heath station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, with a menu and timings you agree with us. At festivals and markets we trade to the public.
How does private food truck hire work?
You hire the truck or trailer for agreed service times. We cook, serve and clear away.
Can we add drinks?
You can add our drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Licensing is checked with you.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
