DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Taco bar hire in Brattle, served fresh
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, because every filling and topping sits in its own dish. There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. It suits barn and marquee parties and team lunches, with a build-your-own taco bar, guacamole and burrito bowls.
For a rural spot like Brattle, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Planning the serving area
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- A level area for the taco-bar table
- Permission from the venue for us to set up
- A short, clear path for carrying the bar in
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
On the menu in Brattle
- Two to four fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Corn and flour tortillas

Questions from Brattle
Will you travel to a small place like Brattle?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
We’re having a ceremony at Parish Church of All Saints: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Can you set up where a truck cannot get in?
The taco bar can sit next to the truck or trailer, or in a spot of its own. We need a nearby place to unload, plus the venue’s agreement.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so contact us early.
