DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.

What happens on the day
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. At midsummer, events in Newbury stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.

- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
