Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Food truck hire in Houghton, served fresh
We serve when you want us to: a lunchtime window, an evening service or a longer slot through a party. Let us know your running order and we will plan around it. We serve fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos from the hatch and burrito bowls, and it’s a good fit for anniversary celebrations and parties in venue grounds.
In a small place like Houghton, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Planners, venues and businesses
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.

Step by step
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. Late-September events in Houghton see sunset at about 7:10pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:55pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Name one person we can ask on the day
