Step by step
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. Late-September weddings in Downend see the sun go down at about 7:10pm, which can put the evening food just after dusk. A late-May wedding keeps its light until roughly 8:55pm.
- First, we check availability for your date.
- You choose the fillings, sides and extras.
- We confirm the plan with your venue.
- Food is served from the taco bar or the hatch.
- After serving, we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
