- Connect us with your coordinator
- Send us the running order and speech times
On the day, we work with your coordinator or toastmaster, so you don’t have to.
Quesadillas suit younger guests at the wedding breakfast.

Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue

How it compares
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a larger team. Our truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, and the style is more relaxed. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why book with us
- Allergen information for every dish
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Fast service, even with a queue
- A clear quote

How it works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps. By late September, sunset in Five Ash Down is around 7:05pm, so an evening taco service may start as the light fades. In late May it stays light until about 8:50pm.
- We start by checking 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.
