DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Working with your venue
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we will let you know if it’s a good fit.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
What’s on the menu
Tamarind and fruit waters
Fruit waters are a fresh alcohol-free option.
Soft drinks

What happens on the day
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Sunset in Sherborne St John is around 9:25pm in June, so a summer drinks bar can run into the evening in daylight. String lights or lanterns near the hatch make a later bar easier to find.

Sherborne St John: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Sherborne St John?
Guests can use Basingstoke station, about 2.1 miles south-east of Sherborne St John.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St. Andrew?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
What can we have at the bar?
Margaritas and Mexican beer, with aguas frescas like horchata and agua de jamaica.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.

- How many guests we are serving
- How long we’re needed on site
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Parking and the route in
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
