DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
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, with allergen information for every dish.
About our Mexican street food in Vernham Dean
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. It suits music and food festivals and village fairs, serving burritos, burrito bowls and loaded nachos.
At a field event near Vernham Dean, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

Questions from Vernham Dean
How far is Vernham Dean from London?
It is about 62 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Will you travel to a small place like Vernham Dean?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
Can you serve alcohol at our event?
It depends on the event’s licence. Tell us whether the event has a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice.

What happens on the day
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain does not typically stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. By late September, it is dark in Vernham Dean at around 7:10pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
