Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Tell us about coeliac guests
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
When service ends, we pack away and drive off quietly.
Ask us about napkins, plates and cutlery and we will confirm the options in your quote.
Food truck hire in St Margarets, from our food truck or trailer
We bring the truck or trailer to private and work events in and around St Margarets, from gardens to venue grounds and business parks. On the menu are burrito bowls, vegan tacos and loaded nachos, which works well for engagement parties and end-of-year parties.
In a rural place like St Margarets, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
Hog roasts are popular with meat eaters, but tacos and bowls make vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to feed. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

What else we do in St Margarets
Organising for someone else?
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.

St Margarets: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Margaret of Antioch?
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 will check the access.
What’s the nearest station to St Margarets for guests?
Farningham Road station, about 1.1 miles south-west of the centre.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, for example a supply from the venue, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
Is the food made fresh?
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.
What does food truck hire cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
