Step by step
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t generally stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. At midsummer, it’s light in Henley Street until about 9:20pm, ideal for drinks outdoors. By late September, sunset is about 7:00pm, and in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting around the bar.
- We check availability.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Preparing for the day

Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
