Working with your venue

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

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

Step by step
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. In December, the light goes in Chatham at about 3:50pm, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:20pm.
- We check availability.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
