Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
About our Mexican street food in Walstead
A taco stall covers many diets at once: there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas. That makes your food line-up easier. Popular choices include quesadillas, tacos and burrito bowls, and it suits outdoor screenings and sports club events.
Rural events near Walstead can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food truck is a big help. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many staff you need
- Guest numbers
- The length of service
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Step by step
Here’s how the day generally runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. Late-September events in Walstead see sunset at about 7:05pm, 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.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
