These are the factors that matter most:

- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

Your questions about food truck hire in Upper Basildon
Do you cater in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Stephen's Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, and we do not sell to the public. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
