Questions from Upton Grey
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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’ll check the access.
Do you cater in villages like Upton Grey?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a quote.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
What can we choose from?
Tacos and taco bars, plus burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. See our sample menu.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
That depends on the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, but tell us your numbers and we will take it from there.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter or as a late snack.
A closer look at the menu
Burritos and burrito bowls
A burrito is a meal in one. The bowl version suits anyone avoiding tortillas.
Build-your-own taco bar
A taco bar is relaxed and sociable, and guests with different diets can choose what suits them.
Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
