What happens on the day
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. Late-September events in Racton see sunset at about 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:55pm.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Can I do a taco night myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.

FAQs for Racton
Could you serve in Stansted Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
We are having a ceremony at Racton Church: can you cater afterwards?
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’ll check the access.
Can you cater for special diets?
Diets are planned with you in advance, but we cannot promise an allergen-free kitchen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run 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 take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.
