Dietary needs and planning tips
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Share the timings for food
- Get facilities approval early
- Offer water and soft drinks too
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
We serve at the agreed time, whether that is a lunch break or an evening party.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas for an evening event.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Common questions in Shackleford
Could you serve in Middlebriars Wood?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Will you travel to a small place like Shackleford?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a space will not work. What matters most:
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
