Where the truck can go in Porchfield
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Flat, firm ground
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
Out-of-the-way places like Porchfield take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Should I do it myself?
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.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Plan seating near the food area
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Schedule crew meals
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
We keep our pitch tidy and safe.
A vegan filling on every menu.

How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
