DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. Lunch service in Shirley is in daylight year-round; in December the sun sets at about 3:55pm. Evening events are a different matter in winter, so check the site’s outdoor lighting.
- Tell us the date, the site, numbers, timings and diets.
- We send a menu and a quote, and check what paperwork your venue asks for.
- We arrange arrival times and access with your facilities team.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve at the agreed time.
- After service, we clear our area and leave it tidy.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Streets in the area include Poppy Lane, Homer Road and Craven Road, and a work event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
In Shirley, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.

Questions from Shirley
Where would you park in Shirley?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Ashburton Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
Can you invoice the company?
Ask us when you enquire and we will explain how booking and payment work.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we will talk it through.
Can you cater for all our staff’s diets?
Yes. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free diets, and allergen information is available for every dish.
How it compares
Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Separate fillings cover every diet. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
