DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
How the day works
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we have agreed, planned around your event. At midsummer, events in Lower Shiplake stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- You get our stall menu, what we need at the pitch and the paperwork you request.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
