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.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
How it works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. In Badlesmere, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
