Questions to ask before booking
- How many staff are serving, and for how long
- The venue requirements
- A clear list of what’s included
- How late numbers can change
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- A quick photo of the access helps us plan
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Nettlestead questions
We are having a ceremony at St Mary's 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. Tell us where the reception will be.
Which station is closest to Nettlestead?
Wateringbury station, in Nettlestead itself.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, for instance a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using 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?
How much is a taco truck for a party?
Every party is quoted for individually, depending on numbers, menu and where you are. Contact us for a quote.

Everyone likes a tray of nachos.
What happens on the day
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. A summer party in Nettlestead stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
