How the day works

Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our truck or trailer, and get on with serving. In December, the light goes in Iping at about 4:00pm, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:20pm.

  1. Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
  2. We talk through licensing with you.
  3. We agree a drinks menu.
  4. We serve drinks responsibly on the day.
  5. We clear the bar at the end.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

DIY taco night or a caterer?

You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.

You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

Before you choose a spot

Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:

  • A spot away from neighbours’ windows if the bar runs late
  • Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
  • The venue’s permission for an outside bar

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
