Dietary needs and planning tips

A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:

  • Measure your gate or driveway
  • Plan where rubbish goes
  • Add a diet question to the invitation
  • Give separate numbers for children

We keep our serving area tidy and safe.

A wider choice of salsas and toppings.

Where the truck can go in Gurnard

Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:

  • Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
  • Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
  • A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance

Out-of-the-way places like Gurnard take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

Popular choices

  • Burritos
  • Guacamole and chips
  • Quesadillas

What happens on the day

From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. A party in Gurnard in late May has daylight until about 8:55pm. After that, a few lamps or fairy lights near the serving area help.

  1. You tell us the date, the address, guest numbers and any diets.
  2. We put a menu together and quote for it.
  3. Before the day, we check the space, the way in, power and water.
  4. On the day we set up and serve hot food at the time you choose.
  5. After serving, we tidy up and leave you to celebrate.

Preparing for the day

  • Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
  • Find out what power and water are available
  • Measure any gates or arches on the way in

FAQs for Gurnard

Can you serve near the sea around Gurnard?

Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots generally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.

We’re having a ceremony at All Saints' Church: can you cater afterwards?

Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.

Can you park at my house?

That depends on the way in and the ground. Let us know about gates, slopes and soft grass, and we’ll check it works.

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

Yes. There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.

Do you need power and water?

That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.

Where do you cater?

London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.

Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?

Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.

Do you do parties at home?

Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.

What’s on the menu

Burritos

Burritos are a full meal in one.

Quesadillas

Quesadillas are simple and comforting.

DIY taco night or a caterer?

If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.

A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.

  • Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
  • Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
  • Mexican drinks bar: margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas
