What happens on the day
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. In December, the light goes in Swinford at about 3:55pm, so plan where guests will gather, and how it will be lit. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:30pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- We check the licensing with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
- On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.

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.
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.
