Service is planned around your running order: whether that’s straight after the photos or later in the evening. We go over timings with your venue beforehand. It works well for relaxed wedding breakfasts and engagement parties at home, with a taco bar for the wedding breakfast, burrito bowls and fresh guacamole and salsas.

DIY taco night or a caterer?

How the day works
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we have agreed, planned around your event. For a summer wedding in Stanswood, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening tacos are usually served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting around the truck or trailer.
- First, we check availability for your date.
- You pick the menu with us.
- We confirm access and the serving spot with your coordinator.
- Guests build their tacos at the taco bar or order at the hatch.
- After serving, we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Give us a contact for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
