DIY taco night versus 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. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
How it works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A photo of the space helps. In Blackgang, it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but dark by about 4:00pm in December, so the time of year shapes an evening party.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose fillings, sides and extras.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- Service starts at the agreed time.
- We pack away and the party carries on.
Getting ready for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Find out what power and water are available

Blackgang: your questions answered
We are having a ceremony at St Andrew's Church: can you cater afterwards?
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 will check the access.
Do you come out to small places like Blackgang?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
