Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
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.

The process
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. Summer events in Scragged Oak have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
