Our caterer checklist

DIY taco night versus a caterer

You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

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 be with your guests, we will do the serving.

What we need at the venue

If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:

  • A level pitch on firm ground
  • Your trader pack and site rules
  • Your arrangements for power, water and waste

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.

The closest is Cooksbridge station, roughly 1.9 miles away.

Do you have options for kids?

Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.

What if the weather’s bad?

The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.

Planning for every diet

With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:

  • Ask traders about serving speed at peak times

  • Tell traders about power and water before the day
  • Schedule crew meals

Our pitch is kept tidy throughout the day.
