Should I do it myself?

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.

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.

Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:

  • Travel, parking and access
  • Whether you add a drinks bar or food

There is always something alcohol-free.

The process

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. A summer drinks reception in Birchgrove has daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. In late September it’s dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 3:55pm, so evening bars need lighting.

  1. Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
  2. We go through the licensing with you.
  3. You choose the drinks with us.
  4. We serve drinks responsibly on the day.
  5. We pack down when the bar closes.

How to prepare

  • Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
  • Name one person we can ask on the day
  • Give us your final numbers and diets

Questions from Birchgrove

Will you travel to a small place like Birchgrove?

Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.

Is Birchgrove close to London?

It is about 31 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.

How much is the bar?

We do not publish set prices, as each event is different. Tell us your plans for a quote.

Do you have options for kids?

Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.

Do you have a licence to sell alcohol?

You’ll need either the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We will go through the licensing with you. See GOV.UK for Temporary Event Notices.

What access do you need?

Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.

Do you do parties at home?

That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.

When should we book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.

For planners, venues and organisers

Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.

Organising a club, school or community event in Birchgrove? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.

Before you choose a spot

Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:

  • Access to unload close to the bar spot
  • A clear area in front of the bar
  • A premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice in place

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
