DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.

For event organisers in Whitwell
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
The process
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. A December market in Whitwell loses the light at about 4:00pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- 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 serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer

We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.

What affects the price in Whitwell
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Serving staff
- Food, drinks or both
- Travel, parking and access
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of where we’d park
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Your menu ideas
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Comparing your options
Burger and hot dog stalls are familiar but similar. Tacos add something different. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
