About the menu
Burritos
A burrito keeps visitors going.
Loaded nachos
Tortilla chips with cheese, salsa and toppings for sharing.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

The process
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. By late September, it’s dark in Pilley Bailey at around 7:10pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- Tacos, burritos and more are served to order while the event is open.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Give us a contact for the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
