We can trade to the public or cook for crew, volunteers and hospitality areas. Popular choices include loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls, and it is a good fit for crew and volunteer catering and race days and sports events.
In Dover, schools, clubs and churches often run summer events. A taco truck suits all of them. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Dover questions
Can you serve near the sea around Dover?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Connaught Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Can you trade at our festival or fair?
Send us the details, and we’ll reply with our availability and what we need.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Are plates and napkins included?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we’ll talk it through.

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.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
- Make sure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Plan access routes for trader vehicles
Our pitch is kept tidy throughout the day.
