Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, 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.
Where the truck can go in Princelett
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
Out-of-the-way places like Princelett take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

The menu, item by item
Tacos
Street tacos are small, quick and full of flavour. We serve them with salsas and toppings, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Loaded nachos
Loaded nachos are perfect for sharing, whether as a starter or a late bite. Dairy-free versions can be planned.
Catering for every guest
Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To make it work smoothly:
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences

- Include at least one vegan filling
Allergen information is on hand for every dish, so guests can check before they order.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas.
Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. In Princelett, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and arrangements.
- We serve hot food from our truck or trailer at the agreed time.
