Questions from Strood
Is it possible to have you in Rede Common?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
What’s the nearest station to Strood for guests?
The closest is Strood station, roughly 1 mile away.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Of course. Children normally enjoy quesadillas and simple tacos, and salsas go on the side. Tell us how many children are coming.
Is my garden suitable?
Generally, if there is firm, level ground and a way in that’s wide and tall enough. Send a picture and we’ll check.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
Do we need to provide plates?
Tell us what you need and we will include the options in your quote.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will suggest the best set-up.
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- A quick photo of the access helps us plan
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. December parties in Strood are dark from about 3:50pm, so think about how guests will see their way to the truck. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us when and where, and how many.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We confirm access, then arrive early on the day.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own tacos.
- We pack down after service.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
Ask for a quote
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
