Step by step
Here’s how the day typically runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. In December, the light goes in Shackleford at about 3:55pm, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- We tidy up at the end.
Before we arrive

DIY taco night or a caterer?
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.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Where the truck can go in Shackleford
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- A premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice in place
- A spot away from neighbours’ windows if the bar runs late
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
