What happens on the day
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain does not generally stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. At midsummer, events in Shillingford stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

FAQs for Shillingford
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Shillingford?
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.
Do you come out to small places like Shillingford?
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 bring margaritas?
We can add our drinks bar if the event is licensed for it. Licensing is checked with you first.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Do you cater in Shillingford?
We do. Shillingford is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- A level pitch on firm ground
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
How it compares
