By late September, it is dark in Calcott at around 7:00pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.

Calcott: your questions answered
Do you cater in villages like Calcott?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Could you come to a seaside event near Calcott?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with 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 need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll suggest mild options.
Is Mexican street food right for your event?
For a stall that adds atmosphere, a Mexican food truck is a strong choice. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
