Do you cater in villages like Rough Common?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.

How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.

That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.

On the menu are a build-your-own taco bar, quesadillas and burrito bowls, and it is a good fit for leaving dos and retirement parties and milestone birthdays.
In a hamlet or village like Rough Common, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
What happens on the day
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. In Rough Common, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We confirm the way in and where we’ll park.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
