DIY taco night or a caterer?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.

Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Parking and the route in
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- How many guests we are serving
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The date and rough timings
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Space, access and the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
How it works
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. At midsummer, it stays light in Hazelwood until about 9:20pm, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:05pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- We agree a hatch menu and send 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.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Tell us when you want service to start
