Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s 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.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Food truck hire in Tankerton, from our truck or trailer
Food truck hire means our food truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. It is a private booking, not public trading, so we plan the menu and service times around you. For end-of-year parties and client hospitality, we can serve fresh salsas and guacamole, burrito bowls and loaded nachos for your guests.
In and around Tankerton, our food truck or trailer can work at home, in a field or at a hall. Narrow roads and soft ground are fine if we know about them. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
Allergen information is available at the hatch for every dish.
Add a build-your-own taco bar beside the truck.
Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. At midsummer, it stays light in Tankerton until about 9:15pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.

It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.

That depends on your timings and the event. As a guide, it’s around 50 to 400 guests.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
Where the truck can go in Tankerton
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
