What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- The venue or postcode
- What you’d like on the menu
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Expected numbers
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.

How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. A December market in Hillgrove loses the light at about 4:00pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- On the day, we’re ready before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Before we arrive
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
