DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
How it works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A picture of the space helps. A hired food truck at a summer event in Swanmore can serve in daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, and by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
