Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Distance from houses and windows
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- Enough width and height on the route in
Afton Park is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey and access for the truck or trailer.

Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Could you come to a seaside event near Afton Park?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots typically need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.

Private hire means we serve only your guests, with a menu and timings you agree with us. Festival and market trading is open to the public; see our street food catering page.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Ask about parking rules if we will be on a road
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first
- Share your running order
When service ends, we pack away, leaving our spot tidy.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
