Common questions in Northwood
Do you come out to small places like Northwood?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Could you come to a seaside event near Northwood?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Is the food very hot?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service usually suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
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.
How it works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not normally stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. Throwing a late-May party in Northwood? The sun sets at about 8:55pm. After that, a few lamps or fairy lights near the serving area help.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose fillings, sides and extras.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- Service starts at the agreed time.
- We pack away and the party carries on.
