Space, access and the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:

- Seating or standing room near the truck
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
Should I do it myself?
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.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.

Minstead: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Minstead?

Which station is closest to Minstead?
Ashurst New Forest station, about 3.2 miles east of the centre.
What does food truck hire cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you do a taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
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.
What do you need at the venue?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water when you book.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Food truck hire or something else?
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At public events, anyone can buy; when you hire us, we serve only your guests, on your timings. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
