Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
On the day, we arrive in good time to park up and get ready. Someone from the venue just needs to point us to the agreed spot.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff and we’ll set out what we can do in your quote.
Mexican catering in Woodland, served fresh
The menu starts with tacos: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. Burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas can sit alongside them. We serve fresh salsas and guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and quesadillas, which works well for birthday parties and company summer parties.
In a small place like Woodland, events are generally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
How it works
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Planning an evening event in Woodland? Sunset is around 8:45pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. For anything running past sunset, think about lights near the hatch.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our food truck or trailer.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
