The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- Power and water details confirmed in advance
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
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 will do the serving.
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.

Questions from Highsted
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Cromers Wood?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Will you travel to a small place like Highsted?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
At a private hire, we serve your guests and nobody else, on a menu and timings agreed with you. Festival and market trading is open to the public.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.
Can we hire a bar too?
We bring bar staff with the drinks bar. Alcohol needs the right licence, which we will check with you.
Do you come to Highsted?
We do. Highsted is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
