Space, access and the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you. What matters most:
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
