DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

Locks Heath questions
Which station is closest to Locks Heath?
Guests can use Swanwick station, about 0.9 miles north of Locks Heath.
Can you serve near the sea around Locks Heath?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots usually need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, and we do not sell to the public. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.

How it works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain does not normally stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. At midsummer, it stays light in Locks Heath until about 9:20pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Check our availability for your date.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
