- Whether VAT is included
- When final numbers are due
- Payment terms and deposit
- Allergen information for each dish
Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
The process
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. At midsummer, events in Colbury stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- 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.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Find out what power and water are available
