What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:

- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking

How the day works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. At midsummer, it’s light in Paulsgrove until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- It starts with your date, the address, numbers and diets.
- You get a sample menu and a quote for your party.
- Before the day, we check the space, the way in, power and water.
- We set up and serve tacos and more while your guests enjoy the party.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Name one person we can ask on the day
Getting a price
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
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.
Paulsgrove: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Michael and All Angels?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Could you come to a seaside event near Paulsgrove?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.

Thinking of a party in Alexandra Park? A food truck in a public park generally needs permission from the landowner, so check first. Families celebrating a christening at a church such as St Michael and All Angels might carry on at a garden or hall where we can park up. Near the coast, within about 5 miles, a beach-side party is tempting, but seafront spots need permission and firm ground for the truck or trailer.
