What we need at the venue

- A quick photo of the access helps us plan
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance

For somewhere as remote as Queen's Bower, early notice helps us plan the trip, the route in and power.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

Questions from Queen's Bower
Could you come to a seaside event near Queen's Bower?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
We’re having a ceremony at All Saints' Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not 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’ll check the access.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, 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?
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we’ll talk it through.
Do you have vegan options?
Vegetarian and vegan fillings are cooked and served separately, and every dish is labelled. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the party.
Comparing your options
For a party that feels a little special without being formal, Mexican street food is hard to beat. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
