DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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.
Food truck hire in Chertsey, served fresh
We cook inside our food truck or trailer, so your venue doesn’t need a kitchen. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed per booking. At christenings and family parties and back-garden parties, we can serve loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls for your guests.
Around Chertsey, a hired food truck can serve in a garden, a field or a hall car park. Narrow roads and soft ground are fine if we know about them. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Chertsey: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Which station should guests use for Chertsey?
Guests can use Chertsey station, which is right in Chertsey.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Chertsey.
What does food truck hire cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
- Parking arrangements if we’re not on private land
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer

What else we do in Chertsey
Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
How it compares
Plated catering needs a kitchen tent, waiting staff and set courses. A food truck arrives as a kitchen and serves from the hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- A clear quote
- Options for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests
- Book food, drinks or both
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
