What else we do in Hellingly
DIY taco night versus 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 anything containing allergens.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Popular choices
Margaritas
Margaritas suit a summer evening.
Mexican beer
Mexican beers served cold, ideal with tacos.
Comparing your options
Bring-your-own is simple but uneven. A staffed bar means everyone is served. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Why book with us
- Served fresh from our truck or trailer
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- A clear quote
- Service planned around your numbers

- Details of power and water on site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

For planners, venues and organisers

Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
