Hot food from a truck or trailer could give a school fair, for a school such as St Giles CofE Primary School, a busy corner. A fundraiser for a church like St Giles' Church might use a food truck to give visitors a reason to stay longer.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
FAQs for Horsted Keynes
How far is Horsted Keynes from central London?
It’s about 32 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.

We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.

That’s confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we’ll talk it through.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
How spicy is the food?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
