Comparing your options
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At public events, anyone can buy; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Step by step
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. At midsummer, it stays light in Kingwood Common until about 9:25pm, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:10pm. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

Kingwood Common: your questions answered
Will you travel to a small place like Kingwood Common?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Is Kingwood Common close to London?
It’s about 39 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
Diets are planned with you in advance, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will recommend how to serve.
For planners, venues and organisers
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we will let you know if it’s a good fit.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
