Common questions in Thornhill
Which station is closest to Thornhill?
The closest is Sholing station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Can you serve near the sea around Thornhill?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots normally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Can we have a build-your-own 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, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
Do we need to provide plates?
Tell us what you need, and we will confirm what’s possible with your quote.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Usually, if there is outdoor space to park and the venue’s permission. Check the venue allows a catering vehicle.
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. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
About the menu
Quesadillas
A good choice for children.
Tacos
Tacos are easy party food. Fillings are agreed with you.
What we need at the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Send a picture of the spot so we can check
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
