DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run behind, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. A late-September party in Five Ashes loses the light at about 7:05pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. In late May, it stays light until about 8:50pm.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We talk through licensing with you.
- You choose the drinks with us.
- We serve drinks responsibly on the day.
- We pack down when the bar closes.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
