DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Send teams to eat in waves
- Get facilities approval early
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Ensure there are alcohol-free drinks
We keep our serving area tidy and contained.

Planning a team event in Shirley
Shirley is about 2 miles west of Southampton, in Southampton. Whether your work event is in the middle of Shirley or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We serve in 40 places in Southampton, from the larger towns to small villages.
If the team is arriving by rail, Millbrook (Hants) station is about 0.7 miles away. By road, Shirley is on or near the A3057, which makes it easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. An away day in the New Forest National Park, within about 8 miles of Shirley, gets the team out of the office. Check the venue’s rules on vehicles before booking a food truck. For a summer team event, the coast is within about 3 miles. We plan for wind and firm ground at any seaside spot.
