Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

Common questions in Barns Green
Which station should guests use for Barns Green?
Guests can use Christs Hospital station, about 1.9 miles north-east of Barns Green.
Do you come to school fairs around Barns Green?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
Can you send us your trader documents?
Share your trader requirements.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we’ll check the licensing with you and your venue.

- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
