Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The date and rough timings
- Where the event is
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Tell us how many children are coming
Allergen information is available at the hatch for every dish, so guests can ask before ordering.
Ask about a second service later in the evening, quoted with the main booking.
What’s on the menu
Tacos from the hatch
Tacos are quick to serve and easy to eat standing up, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Salsas and guacamole
Guacamole and a choice of salsas, freshly made.
Step by step
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not generally stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. By late September, it is dark in Harefield at around 7:10pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:55pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Give us your final numbers and diets

Hiring our taco truck near Harefield
Harefield is about 2 miles east of Southampton, in Southampton. Whether your event is in the middle of Harefield or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Harefield is one of 40 towns and villages in Southampton we cover.
Around Harefield, historic houses include South Stoneham House (1.9 miles north-west) and Southampton Tudor House and Garden (3.1 miles south-west). Historic houses and estates usually have firm rules on vehicles, so ask where a hired food truck could park before you book.

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
