How it works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. A December market in Colwood loses the light at about 3:55pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we are ready before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Colwood questions
Could you serve in Leonardslee?
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.
Do you cater in villages like Colwood?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. We offer dairy-free options.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a quote.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. There are vegan tacos and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors, with allergen information for every dish.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll check the licensing with you.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Check how traders handle peak times
- Confirm power and water with traders
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Put picnic tables near the traders
We serve from the hatch throughout trading hours.

- The event’s site rules and timings
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
