How the day works
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. By late September, sunset in Tackley comes at roughly 7:10pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. In late May, it stays light until about 9:00pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- We talk licensing through with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
- On the day we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.
- We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Common questions in Tackley
Which station is closest to Tackley?
Guests can use Tackley station, which is right in Tackley.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Nicholas: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you have alcohol-free drinks?
There are always alcohol-free options, including aguas frescas and soft drinks.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
