Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

Diets, allergies and planning

- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Measure your gate or driveway

Bowls as an alternative to tacos.
How it works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain does not generally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. December parties in Furnace Wood are dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where guests queue and eat. At midsummer, sunset is about 9:20pm.
- It starts with your date, the address, numbers and diets.
- We put a menu together and quote for it.
- Before the day, we check the space, the way in, power and water.
- On the day we set up and serve hot food at the time you choose.
- After serving, we tidy up and leave you to celebrate.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
