Planning help
Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Set out seating near the bar
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches.
Our food truck or trailer can serve later in the day, after the taco bar, quoted with the rest.
Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Travel, parking and access
- What the venue already provides
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- The number of people
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
