Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Send allergy details in writing
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
We keep allergen information for every dish at the hatch.
Nachos for sharing at the start.
About our food truck hire in Blean
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, so tell us how many you expect. At wedding evening food and engagement parties, we will put together a menu of burritos, quesadillas and burrito bowls for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Blean, our truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Space, access and the venue
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

FAQs for Blean
Do you come out to small places like Blean?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Cosmus and St Damian: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
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 give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
