On the day, we work with your site team on any changes.

- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
