DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Mexican street food in Ashurst, from our truck or trailer
We slow-cook fillings ahead and finish them on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. For food and music festivals and agricultural and county shows, we can serve vegan tacos, tacos and quesadillas.
Rural events near Ashurst can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food truck is a big help. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.

The process
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. For an evening event in Ashurst, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.
- We check your dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
How to prepare
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
How to get a price
