Common questions in Hicks Forstal
Could you come to a seaside event near Hicks Forstal?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots normally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Curtis Wood?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Do you serve responsibly?
Always. No alcohol is served to under-18s, and anyone who has had too much won’t be served more.
What’s on the drinks menu?
Margaritas and Mexican beer, with aguas frescas like horchata and agua de jamaica, plus alcohol-free choices.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Is there something for non-drinkers?
Yes. Aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata are alcohol-free, along with soft drinks.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a quote.

Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
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.
