Whatever the occasion, our truck or trailer can be the centre of it. We can cater:

Oliver's Battery: your questions answered
We are having a ceremony at Saint Mark's: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Do you come out to small places like Oliver's Battery?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Of course. Children generally enjoy quesadillas and simple tacos, and salsas go on the side. Tell us how many children are coming.
Do you cover Oliver's Battery?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Oliver's Battery is within our area. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- A quick photo of the access helps us plan
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
