The process
Your timings come first. If things run behind, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. Summer events in Capstone have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- You get our stall menu, what we need at the pitch and the paperwork you request.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- At the close, we clear our pitch.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Name one person we can ask on the day

We can trade to the public or cook for crew, volunteers and hospitality areas. It works well for county and country shows and village fêtes and summer fairs, serving tacos, burrito bowls and quesadillas.
Near Capstone, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Should I do it myself?
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.
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.
