FAQs for South Ruislip
What about parking in South Ruislip?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a photo of the access and the space.
How many guests can you cater for?
That depends on the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, but tell us your numbers and we will plan around them.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Before you choose a spot
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- Permission from the venue or landowner
As a London location, South Ruislip is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Count children separately
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area quietly.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
