Can I do a taco night myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Food truck hire in Ridley, from our truck or trailer
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It is simple, quick and sociable. On the menu are tacos from the hatch, quesadillas and burrito bowls, which works well for launch events and birthday parties.
Near Ridley, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
