The process

When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Late-September events in Maidenbower see sunset at about 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.

  1. Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
  2. Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
  3. We check power, water and timings with the venue.
  4. Service runs at the times you choose.
  5. When everyone is fed, we clear our area.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us when you want service to start
  • Name one person we can ask on the day
  • Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer

Should I do it myself?

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.

Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
