How it works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. A summer party in Sherborne St John stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- You tell us the date, the address, guest numbers and any diets.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We confirm access, parking, power and water.
- On the day, we arrive, set up and start serving at the agreed time.

We cater in all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
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.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

Sherborne St John questions
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St. Andrew?
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 will check the access.
Do you come out to small places like Sherborne St John?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
How is the food prepared?
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.
How spicy is the food?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
When should I book?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
What’s on the menu?
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. See our menu for ideas.
