Can I do a taco night myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. 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.
Mexican street food in Bowmans, from our food truck or trailer
We work to your trader pack and site rules, including arrival times and waste arrangements. It works well for street food and farmers’ markets and open days and community events, serving quesadillas, burrito bowls and tacos.
Summer fairs around Bowmans are often run by volunteers, so we agree pitch, access and power with the organiser in advance. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

The process

- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.

Planning the serving area
We will be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
