Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will recommend how to serve.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, and we do not sell to the public. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
The process
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Late-September events in Boughton Lees see sunset at about 7:00pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:45pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Ask the venue about power and water

Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Planning help
Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
The hatch opens at the time you choose, and we cook each order as it comes.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can join the truck, with licensing checked with you.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
What we need at the venue
We will agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
