Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Distance and access to the venue
- Serving staff
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The date and time of the event
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

How it works
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. By late September, it’s dark in Sutton Valence at around 7:00pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We send our menu, pitch requirements and the documents you ask traders for.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on our pitch.
- We cook to order and serve through the agreed trading hours.

Getting ready for the day
