DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. 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.
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 the day works
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, planned around your event. At midsummer, it is light in Holywell until about 9:15pm, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. By late September, sunset is about 7:00pm, and in December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting around the bar.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
- We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
- On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
Preparing for the day
