- The wet-weather plan
- What the caterer needs from your venue
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
- Check allergen information is on display
- Share vehicle access times with traders
- Schedule crew meals
Allergen details are on hand for every dish, and the menu shows vegan and gluten-free options.
Margaritas and Mexican beer, subject to the event’s licence.

What else we do in Picket Twenty
How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Summer events in Picket Twenty have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- We check your dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We are ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Give us a contact for the day
Getting a price
Send us the date, your venue or SP10 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just send a quick message through our quote form.
