What else we do in Shide
Planning the serving area
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
Out-of-the-way places like Shide take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

Shide: your questions answered
Could you serve in Seaclose Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Can you serve near the sea around Shide?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
About the menu
Quesadillas
An easy option for cautious eaters.
Build-your-own taco bar
A serving table of everything needed for tacos, so staff build their own.
For event organisers in Shide
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Travel, parking and access
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your work event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A picture of where we’d park
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The address or venue name
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Diets, allergies and planning
We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Stagger breaks for a large team
- Confirm vehicle access with facilities
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Book a parking space or loading bay for the truck or trailer
If timings change on the day, tell us and we will adapt.
Burrito bowls for desk-friendly lunches.
Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
