How it works
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. By late September, it is dark in Cove at around 7:05pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.

Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Schedule crew meals
- Give traders a single information pack
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
Allergen information is available at the hatch, and the menu shows vegan and gluten-free options.
Margaritas and Mexican beer, subject to the event’s licence.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. 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’ll do the serving.
