DIY taco night versus a caterer
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Great Burgh: your questions answered
Is Great Burgh close to London?
About 14 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Mark?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
How much is the bar?
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. Tell us your plans for a quote.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll suggest mild options.
Who handles the licensing?
You will need either the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We will check the licensing with you. GOV.UK explains Temporary Event Notices.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Drinks planning tips
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:
- Give us numbers for children
- Allow time for a Temporary Event Notice if one is needed
- Ensure drivers have good choices
- Tell us when the bar should open and close
We set up the bar before guests arrive, so drinks are ready when you are.
Aguas frescas for children and non-drinkers.
