Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- What you’d like on the menu
- Expected numbers
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Share your running order
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. It helps if someone can meet us on arrival.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck.
Popular choices
Quesadillas
Quesadillas are a simple choice for children.
Burritos
A burrito is a full meal in the hand and travel well from the hatch.
Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
