DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
How the day works
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. Evening events in Chartham Hatch have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We send our menu, pitch requirements and the documents you ask traders for.
- On the day, we arrive in the set-up window and get ready to trade.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
