DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

The process
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Christmas markets in East Grinstead trade in the dark from about 3:55pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We are ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Share power and water details early
We clear the pitch and leave it as we found it.

Comparing your options
Burger and hot dog stalls are familiar but similar. Tacos add something different to a food line-up. There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
