Book Mexican street food in West Ilsley
The process
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we will adjust where we can. Late-September events in West Ilsley see sunset at about 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’ll 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

Should I do it myself?
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.
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.
