DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Comparing your options
DIY bars leave you handling licensing and staffing. We will check the licensing with you and bring bar staff. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.

How the day works
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. A summer drinks reception in Stanford Common has daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. In late September it is 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.
- We tidy up at the end.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
