DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
How it compares
Bring-your-own is simple but uneven. A staffed bar means everyone is served, including non-drinkers. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Why us?
- Allergen-aware menus
- Service planned around your numbers
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- Book food, drinks or both

Other catering in Hempstead
Hempstead: your questions answered
We’re having a ceremony at All Saints Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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’ll check the access.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to South Wood?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
What’s on the drinks menu?
Our bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata, plus alcohol-free choices.
Do we need a licence for the bar?
You will need either the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We’ll check the licensing with you. GOV.UK explains Temporary Event Notices.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service usually suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
