Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks

We can serve through rain, but guests will want a covered area to eat.

Sandling: your questions answered
How far is Sandling from central London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Which station should guests use for Sandling?
Guests can use Sandling station, which is right in Sandling.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
