Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day usually runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. Summer events in Northam have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- You get our stall menu, what we need at the pitch and the paperwork you request.
- On the day, we arrive in the set-up window and get ready to trade.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.

Preparing for the day
