Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

Houghton: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of All Saints?
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.
How far is Houghton from central London?
Roughly 68 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. We offer dairy-free options.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.

We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
