Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Can you serve alcohol at our event?
It depends on the event’s licence. Tell us whether the event has a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. For alcohol, we’ll talk licensing through with you and your venue.
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.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
