Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

FAQs for Little Chart Forstal
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like Little Chart Forstal?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Mary?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
We plan for diets before the day, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will go through the licensing with you.

How it compares
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. Our truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
