Tacos, burritos and bowls are easy to eat on the move. It suits school and charity events and country shows, serving burrito bowls, quesadillas and tacos.
For a village fête or field event near Ampfield, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground, the gate and access. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. For an evening event in Ampfield, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Questions from Ampfield
Will you travel to a small place like Ampfield?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Ampfield?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information, and we’ll check availability.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
We can. We can cook for crew, volunteers or a hospitality area as well as, or instead of, a public stall.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
