Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Penton Corner?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
What documents can you send?
Share your trader requirements and we will respond.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
Fillings are cooked ahead and kept hot, so orders are assembled quickly.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
