Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Planning help
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Look into parking permissions if the truck cannot go off-road
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Let us know who is coeliac
Allergen information is available at the hatch for every dish.
Nachos for sharing at the start are a good way to begin.
Why choose food truck hire in Woodmancote?
Plated catering needs a kitchen tent, waiting staff and set courses. A food truck arrives as a kitchen and serves from the hatch. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Woodmancote questions
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Tottington Wood?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Do you come out to small places like Woodmancote?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff. We’ll talk through licensing first.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, and we don’t sell to the public. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Can we hire the truck for our wedding?
Wedding food from a truck feels relaxed and sociable, especially in the evening. We agree access and timings with the venue.

- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
