If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Organising a club, school or community event in Mattingley? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Level, firm ground for the bar set-up
- The right licence for alcohol: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice
- Somewhere to park and unload nearby
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
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 will do the serving.
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, and handles allergen information for you.

Mattingley: your questions answered
Is Mattingley close to London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
We’re having a ceremony at Mattingley Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will include them in the plan.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do we need a licence for the bar?
You’ll need either the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We will go through the licensing with you. See GOV.UK for Temporary Event Notices.
Is there something for non-drinkers?
Always. Aguas frescas and soft drinks are alcohol-free, along with soft drinks.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?

Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. A late-September party in Mattingley loses the light at about 7:05pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:55pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
Getting a price
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, send a quick message through our quote form.
