Shipbourne questions
Do you come out to small places like Shipbourne?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
How far is Shipbourne from central London?
It is about 24 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
When should I book?
Early is best, but ask even if it’s soon. We’ll check availability for you.
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.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you cover Shipbourne?
We do. We serve at events in Shipbourne and across Kent. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Do you do a taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.

Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.

The process
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps. December parties in Shipbourne are dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where guests queue and eat. At midsummer, sunset is about 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, address and numbers.
- You get a menu and a quote.
- We confirm access, then arrive early on the day.
- Food is served from the hatch or the taco bar.
- We pack down after service.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

Organising for someone else?
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
How it compares
A home-made buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Our food is cooked to order and served hot. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we offer in Shipbourne
- Quoted for your event
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- A menu built around your guests
- Allergen information for everything we serve
