Ansty questions
Will you travel to a small place like Ansty?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St John the Evangelist?
Yes. The church itself is not 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.
Can you cater for special diets?
Diets are planned in advance, with options kept separate, though we cannot guarantee a kitchen with no trace of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Can we add a bar?
Our drinks bar can be added to any booking, with bar staff serving margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We will talk licensing through with you before the day.
How our Mexican catering works in Ansty
We bring our food truck or trailer to events in and around Ansty: gardens, fields, yards and venues with hardstanding, as long as there is safe access. For christenings and family parties and milestone birthdays, we will put together a menu of burrito bowls, fresh salsas and guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar and more.
Somewhere like Ansty, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
How the day works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps. Planning an evening event in Ansty? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. For anything running past sunset, think about lights near the hatch.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Preparing for the day

- Find out what power and water are available

Planning help
Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
Rain does not stop us serving from the truck or trailer, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we’ll confirm what’s possible with your quote.
What we need at the venue

- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Parking and the route in
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Whether you need disposables
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- The address or venue name
- Any dietary needs and allergies

Send us the date, your venue or RH17 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. Just tell us about it on our contact page.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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.
