DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: 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. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- What the venue already provides
- Timings and hours
- Parking and the route in
- How many guests we are serving
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- What power and water the site has
- The date and rough timings
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
How it compares
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot burrito or taco bowl keeps crew going. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- Allergen information for every dish
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch

Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run behind, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. A December market in Poverest loses the light at about 3:55pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- On the day, we arrive in the set-up window and get ready to trade.
- Tacos, burritos and more are served to order while the event is open.
- At the close, we clear our pitch.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
