DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.

How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. Late-September events in South Ruislip see sunset at about 7:05pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:55pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Ask about parking rules if we’ll be on a road
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
Wet weather doesn’t close the hatch, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Ask us about napkins, plates and cutlery and we’ll confirm what’s possible.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
In South Ruislip, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

We can help if you are planning any of the following:

- Staff appreciation days
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Mary, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.

FAQs for South Ruislip
Where would you park in South Ruislip?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Is it possible to have you in Northala Fields?
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.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, with a menu and timings you agree with us. At festivals and markets we trade to the public.
Can we have a build-your-own 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, guacamole and toppings.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Food truck hire or something else?
A DIY barbecue keeps a host at the grill. With a hired truck, we do the cooking so you can join in. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
