DIY taco night versus a caterer

A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.

A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.

How to compare caterers

How the day works

Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain does not typically stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. At midsummer, it is light in Brading until about 9:20pm, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. In late September it’s dark around 7:10pm, and in December by about 4:00pm, so evening bars need lighting.

  1. Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
  2. We talk through licensing with you.
  3. We agree a drinks menu.
  4. Our bar staff serve your guests at the agreed times.
  5. We clear the bar at the end.

Before we arrive

  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day
  • Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
  • Tell us when you want service to start
