How it works
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Around midsummer it stays light in Burham until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, 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.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
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. Read our guide to taco bars.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
