DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

What happens on the day
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you are unsure. Late-September events in South Lambeth see sunset at about 7:05pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive

What else we do in South Lambeth
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
In South Lambeth, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
How we price Mexican street food
The price comes down to a few factors:
- What the venue already provides
- What’s on the menu
- How long we’re needed on site
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
Details that help
These details help us quote quickly:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- What power and water the site has
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
