DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
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.
Planning the serving area
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- Vehicle access near the bar
- Details of power and water on site
- Room for a queue
As a London location, Petts Wood is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

How it works
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. A summer drinks reception in Petts Wood has daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, ideal for drinks outdoors. In late September it’s dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 3:55pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- First, we check your date.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
