Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
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.

Your questions about food truck hire in Bowcombe
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St. Nicholas in Castro?
Yes. The church itself is not 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’ll check the access.
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Bowcombe?
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.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Do you cover Bowcombe?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Bowcombe. To check your date, use our quote form.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
If you want guests to remember the food, a private food truck is a strong option in Bowcombe. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
